Description - A Field Guide to Mushrooms of the Carolinas by Alan E. Bessette

Mushrooms in the wild present an enticing challenge: some are delicious, others deadly, still others take on almost unbelievable forms. This field guide introduces 650 mushrooms found in the Carolinas-more than 50 of them appearing in a field guide for the first time-using clear language and color photographs to reveal their unique features.

What's included:
  • Hundreds of full color photographs of Carolina mushrooms
  • Information on mushroom edibility and toxicity
  • Microscopic information
  • An overview of the Carolinas' role in the history of American mycology

    • Perfect for those interested in learning more about mushrooms, the unusually large number of described species makes this book a must-have for experienced mushroom hunters as well as beginners. Here, at last, is the field guide for North and South Carolina mushrooms, from the mountains to the coast, presented in a single, portable volume.
