Great home reference and field guide

I've always been a bit leary of harvesting and eating wild mushrooms, but will soon be faced with a situation where it may become necessary. I found this reference very reassuring and full of great information about the proper identification, possible adverse reactions, and palatability of the most common Alaskan mushrooms. I feel confident that, armed with this guide, I can appropriately select wild mushrooms to eat if necessary. I appreciate that the author advises you to collect with an experienced harvester and/or to verify your finds with a mushroom expert prior to eating them if at all possible. The differentiating information about edible and look-alike toxic mushrooms is clear and easy to understand, as well as common traits among toxic mushrooms to help you steer clear of possibly hazardous species that aren't identified in this book (as most of the species of Alaskan mushroom have yet to be identified and studied).

A Must Have for Alaskans

This book should be on every Alaskan's shelf. It is invaluable for identifying all the fungi in our gardens in August. Simple, easy to read and good pictures.
