Books Descriptions
Winner of the CBHL Award of Excellence California is one of the most ecologically rich
and diverse regions of North America, and home to hundreds of species of
mushrooms. In California Mushrooms, mycologist experts Dennis Desjardin, Michael
Wood, and Fred Stevens provide over 1100 species profiles, including comprehensive
descriptions and spectacular photographs. Each profile includes information on
macro- and micromorphology, habitat, edibility, and comparisons with closely related
species and potential look-alikes.?Although the focus of the book is on mushrooms of
California, over 90% of the species treated occur elsewhere, making the book useful
throughout western North America. This complete reference covers everything
necessary for the mushroom hunter to accurately identify over 650 species.
