Very subjective & misleading title for a beginner
the book is excellent illustrative-wise depicting what I'm assuming are "safe mushrooms"; almost too nice to takeout in the field and utilize for comparative anatomy of the target mushroom. I was anticipating a more thorough discussion of the topographic and climatic areas associated to the specific mushroom; as well as more detail to variable mimicry that may make the difference between edible and poisonous. I'll still use the book but w/ some reservation for the more uncommon mushrooms in my area
