Abstract
"Mushrooms appeal to all kinds of people ...and so will this handy pocket guide. Over 200 edible and poisonous mushrooms are depicted with simple checklists of their identifying features, as author David Arora celebrates the fun in fungi with the same engaging blend of wit and wisdom, fact and fancy, that has made his comprehensive guide, Mushrooms Demystified, the mushroom hunter's bible." -- back cover
