Anyone interested in becoming involved with wild mushrooms had better have themselves a good field guide. For those in the Pennsylvania and Mid-Atlantic region, such a guide has long been Bill Russell’s 2006 book “Field Guide to Wild Mushrooms of Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic,” part of the Keystone Books series from Penn State University Press.
HarperCollins UK has announced the publication of the sixth in their Collins Guide series: the Collins Fungi Guide; the Most Complete Field Guide to the Mushrooms and Toadstools of Britain & Ireland by mycologist and horticultural scientist Stefan Buczacki with illustrations by Chris Shields and Denys Ovenden.
