Audubon Opens Mushrooms in the Field

17 June, 2007 (14:53) | reviews | No comments

The Audubon Society has done as good a job as anyone could with such an abbreviated format. Limitations aside, this is a pretty thick little book, and it covers a huge number of fungal species, from the many-headed slime to the aromatic milky, from the big laughing gym to the dryad’s saddle. If you’re curious about a mysterious growth out by your back stoop, you’ve got a chance of finding it between the covers of this field guide, but then again, you’re just as likely not to.
