Product Description
With a dash of humor and a dollop of science, Michael Kuo selects the top 100 mushrooms best suited for cooking. Like Kuo’s very popular book Morels, 100 Edible Mushrooms is written in the author’s inimitable, engaging, and appealing style, taking the reader on the hunt through forest and kitchen in search of mycological pleasures and culinary delights. Kuo describes in detail how to identify each species, where and when to find them, and how to cook them in creative and delicious recipes. The mushrooms presented in the book are the most often eaten varieties, and a description of the button mushrooms found in the grocery store is included. All of the mushrooms have at least one full-color illustration and some several more to aid in identifying and distinguishing look-alike and nonedible species. An indispensable book for mushroom hunters, naturalists, and cooks Michael Kuo, an English teacher in Illinois, is the developer of mushroomexpert.com, a popular online resource for mushroom identification and morel hunting.

 Well written but use with another resource November 9, 2009
Domenick L. Ottoviani
Very well written book. Very easy to read and entertaining; however, I would not use this book as the only source when identifying mushrooms. Not enough scientific data in the book.

Entertaining, good photos/descriptions of edible mushrooms and look-alikes, well-organized, nice introductory information for beginners. Makes an excellent supplement to a more general guide.

I purchased this for my mushroom hunting brother in law for Christmas. I wanted to make sure that what he found and ate was safe as I really do love him. After looking over a number of books, both online and in bookstores, I ordered this. It is a super book with tons of information. He loved it so much he stopped unwrapping Christmas presents to read his new book. I was very pleased with the quality, information and price.
Wonderful guide! October 7, 2008

This is my third mushroom guide, and so far is my favorite, followed closely by "Audubon's Field Guide to Mushrooms". The photos in Michael Kuo's book are wonderful, the descriptions are clear, and I especially like that it has a section especially for "beginners" (of which I am one) that describes a few edibles that aren't easily confused with anything else. This section has helped me to locate safe edibles in my area. I'm loving this book and carry it with me in my vehicle. You just never know when or where you might spot an interesting fungi! I highly recommend this book!
