A practical guide to mushroom identification and safety
Designed to bridge classroom study and field use, The Mushroom Manual organizes mushroom knowledge around identification, edible and poisonous varieties, and safety practices. Pearson gives particular attention to the “Foolproof Four” and the “Fatal Five,” framing the subject through species that matter most for cautious foraging. Detailed descriptions and illustrations cover more than 300 species, while seven safety rules provide a structured approach to recognizing mushrooms. Recipes extend the book beyond identification into cooking with edible finds.
