    This is an exceptional guide for the fungus forager. Good pictures, clear descriptions and plenty of discussion on edibility. And it fits easily into a coat pocket. I think it’s the best field book on UK mushrooms I have had in over 30 years of foraging. .

    Very thick book so I’m sure there’ll be plenty of content to get through. Makes the perfect gift for mushroom lovers

    This guide is super helpful both to novice and experienced foragers, and easy to navigate. I’m Polish (based in Hampshire) and used to foraging and just spotting mushrooms, but there are some different species here in the UK. I love the fact that unlike in most guides, images show the overview of the mushroom but also the critical identifying elements: the gills (spores & etc.), the stalk, ring/skirt (where present) and the base (pointing out if with or without volva), etc. I’ve definitely learned to identify more and new species. Thank you very much. This guide is amazing and I totally recommend it, along with Marlow’s YouTube channel for Wild Food in the UK. Great stuff!
    Moving on, in the next edition, I hope you can include warted amanitas (amanita strobiliformis) and solitary hedgehog amanitas (amanita echinocephala) as I keep finding them down south (chalky soils and beech trees) and they are beautiful mushrooms, well worth spotting and knowing about. Thank you!

    Must have.
    This is a great book to help you identify mushroom, compact and easy to take with you. I have done Their foraging courses and this was great to add to that knowledge, I use this with my other books but I must say this is probably my favourite. highly recommend.

    Looks like a great book that will really help us identifying mushrooms. Like the fact that with each specimen it describes what they could be confused with and the differences. Good pocket size but lots of info and good photos.

    Beautiful book. A fantastic Christmas gift.

  8. Lewis –

    Clear, concise. Shows things that a forager would actually be looking for, if its not in here, its probably not worth looking at.

    Best mushroom book.
    I have several books about mushrooms. This one is best to use as a guide. Easy comparison between edible and poisonous mushrooms, lots of pictures, great description. If you are in to foraging it’s a must.
