Abstract

The following reviews are intended to help take some of the mystery and terror out of selecting guides to edible fungi for the amateur. The books chosen for review are all in print; several have been available for seventy years. Mushrooming has been of interest to humans since the beginning of time. Lately, however, this interest has increased as more people become interested in all types of foraging. This increased interest is part of our national interest in the out‐of‐doors.
