The first step to foraging mushrooms is spotting the different varieties and identifying them--and with this helpful introductory guide, you'll begin to do just that. This book profiles 30 commonly found mushrooms in North America and Europe, listing their unique characteristics so you can tell them apart and spot edible varieties for your kitchen with ease. Each profile is packed with information on what each mushroom looks like, where it grows and any toxic lookalikes you might stumble across, so you can forage with confidence.

Conveniently broken down into mushroom groupings, you'll get a crash course in edible Polypores like Chicken of the Woods, Amanitas like Blushers and Chantarelles like the Black Trumpet. Each mushroom guide has a quick-ID summary and dozens of detailed photos, giving you an easy starting point to begin your identification journey. You'll also discover tips on how to begin foraging, like what to wear and best times to go, as well as a dozen delicious recipes to use up your finds. Try out Yellow Chantarelle Goulash or a hearty Wild Mushroom Barley Bake. This beautiful guide will ease you into the world of mushrooms, so you can get out in nature, identify the different species and harvest delicious fungi.
