AlbakiReads Editorial

A pocket reference to Western mushrooms

David Arora’s guide brings together more than 200 Western mushrooms, including edible and poisonous varieties. Depictions and concise checklists of identifying features make identification the book’s organizing purpose, while its compact, pocket-guide format points to use as a field reference. The subject spans both the practical task of distinguishing mushrooms and the broader study of fungi; the entries give the book a survey-like scope across a substantial range of species. Its coverage is specifically framed around Western mushrooms, so the regional focus is central to how this guide is intended to be used.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Mushroom hunters seeking a compact field reference for Western species
  • Adults interested in distinguishing edible and poisonous mushrooms
  • Readers looking for an illustrated introduction to fungi and mushroom identification

Book overview

"[All That the Rain Promises and More] is certainly the best guide to fungi, and may in fact be a long lasting masterpiece in guide writing for all subjects."--Roger McKnight, TheNew York Times

Mushrooms appeal to all kinds of people--and so will this handy pocket guide, which includes key information for more than 200 Western mushrooms

Over 200 edible and poisonous mushrooms are depicted with simple checklists of their identifying features, as David Arora celebrates the fun in fungi with the same engaging bend of wit and wisdom, fact and fancy, that has made his comprehensive guide, Mushrooms Demystified, the mushroom hunter's bible.

"The best guide for the beginner. I'd buy it no matter where I lived in North America."--Whole Earth Catalog
