Let author Lawrence Millman escort you on a journey into the history of over 150 fungi species. Learn how to make spore prints, discover which species are edible, find out which mushroom the Vikings ate before their raids and more.
This is a beautiful and portable guide to the fungi of New England written by local author and mycologist Lawrence Millman. It covers both the common and unusual mushrooms we will find in our own backyards and nearby woods. The book is designed to help the reader with identification. It is written in non-technical language, illustrated clearly, and organized by what the mushrooms look like (with gills or without) and where they grow (on the ground or on wood).
Lawrence Millman has done mycological work around the world and also at Mass Audubon's Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary. His current inventory there numbers 490 species.
