With Edible Mushrooms in your backpack, you'll know to pick only the safest, most delicious chanterelles, truffles, morels, and more.

Discover such aspects of mushrooming as: Characteristics of edible mushrooms, per species Cooking, cleaning, and drying the day's bounty Edible, inedible, or toxic? Photographs and descriptions for what to pick and what to avoid Poisonous varieties and how to recognize them All content has been verified by a professional mycologist.
