Abstract "Identifying mushrooms in the wild can present an enticing challenge. Taking on unbelievable forms, some are delicious, others are deadly, but the edibility status of the majority remains unknown. In this revised and expanded edition of the classic, best-selling A Field Guide to Mushrooms of the Carolinas , readers will find over 1,000 mushroom species described in clear, simple terms, with color photographs showcasing their unique combinations of features. What's included: - Information on mushroom edibility and toxicity - Basic information on spore characteristics - Updated nomenclature and taxonomy based on the latest genetic analyses - An overview of the Carolinas' role in the history of American mycology - Over 1,000 color photographs of Carolina mushrooms The unusually large number of described species makes this book a must-have for experienced mushroom hunters as well as those newly interested in mycology. Here, at last, is the definitive field guide for mushrooms in North and South Carolina, from the mountains to the coast, presented in a single portable volume"-- Provided by publisher.
