Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent book with loads of good info Comment: This is a very good reference book with tons of information. It is well written and easy to use. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Book! Comment: Anybody who knows anything about mushrooms will most likely have this book! This book tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about mushrooms, including regional lore and legends about the mushrooms. This book is also very good for identifying mushrooms. has something like 300 color pics in which at least one of the mushrooms in those pics will resemble the one you want to identify and point you in the right direction. the keys in the front of each section are also very useful for identification. it would be nice, however, to have more pictures. i also have Audubon field guide for the pictures and for the small size for a field guide. its a good combo. i look through the pics of the Audubon and read the short description and then i look that up in arora's book for a much more detailed description and to compare with other similar species. Customer Rating: Summary: This is an advanced text Comment: I have owned this book for many years; and, through may hunts, it has proven invaluble for classifying mushrooms into their proper categories. However, I would caution buyers to know something about mycology BEFORE they buy this book! This is an area which requires experience! David Auora is a mycological authority, and this is mostly written to the WEST COAST varietals and people who are familair with the basics. While the variations from the west coast to the east coast are similar, the differences are what can kill you! Remember, mushroom hunting and identification can be DEADLY! This book arms you only with enough information to get you in the ball park unless you are an experienced hunter with many varieties. Excellent reference, but not for the beginner! Customer Rating: Summary: good condition, good shipping time Comment: Everything went smoothly with this transaction. I bought it used; it seems brand new except for some rather deliberate-looking permanent marker dashes on the unbound sides of the book (on the page tips, whatever that's called). Shipping time was on the fast side of the range of days. Customer Rating: Summary: Mushrooms Demystified Comment: Excellent guide, however primarily for western states. Could easily be used as a college textbook, but easy enough for a novice to use.
