Was sind Pilze und welche Arten gibt es？In diesem Buch erhält man sehr wenig Informationen über die Funktionalität von Pilzen， dafür aber sehr viel über die unterschiedlichsten Formen und Arten。 Wer also im Wald auf der Suche nach Pilzen ist， sollte dieses Buch mitnehmen。

Sebadiaz ，

Really helpful guide book。 Good general intro and best visual representations I have found in a book。 Has great pictures， particularly， in most sections they will have multiple views include gills， cap， and a transverse section that is super helpful。 I also loved the paintings and the use of a hand as a scale。 Docked it a star just because I thought it was not particularly gatherer friendly， with minimal effort to highlight or even give clear distinguishing marks that other guides will bring up。 Really helpful guide book。 Good general intro and best visual representations I have found in a book。 Has great pictures， particularly， in most sections they will have multiple views include gills， cap， and a transverse section that is super helpful。 I also loved the paintings and the use of a hand as a scale。 Docked it a star just because I thought it was not particularly gatherer friendly， with minimal effort to highlight or even give clear distinguishing marks that other guides will bring up。 I also like when they provide common alternative names which this guide did not。 Overall would recommend for beginners as well as readers with some experience and knowledge looking to get new perspectives and images。 。。。more

This is an awesome mushroom guide AND it’s such an easy read！ It’s a wonderful source for both beginner and experienced fungi enthusiasts！ So far this is my go to mushroom and fungi guide。 The only thing I didn’t like about the book was that it’s not alphabetical so it does take a minute to find what you’re looking for sometimes。 But if you know the kingdom of the fungi you’re inquiring about it can be little quicker。

A particularly helpful guide with clear pictures and descriptions。 Have used it to successfully identify various mushrooms including ceps， trooping funnels， puffballs， wood blewits， chicken-of-the-woods， and many more。

This book is very well presented and illustrated。 It is a great tool to identify mushrooms。 I was a bit concerned by the date of publication initially but it is still accurate in terms of taxonomy thanks to its structure that focuses on ascomycota and basidiomycota。 Note that the purpose of this book is not to describe the human uses or health effects of the selected mushrooms。 It is rather to help identifying them and it does so very skillfully。

We really enjoying using this book in homeschooling to identify local fungi and to introduce the life cycle。 The information and family distinction charts were easy to read and navigate by a 4th grader。 Not surprising given that this is a DK publishers book。

excellent guide with great photos of young stages， caps， gills， and cross-sections of almost every mushroom listed as well as a size chart as compared to an adult hand。 also takes into account mushrooms which are edible in europe and may not be in north america。 only downside is that it is missing labels of toxicity of some mushrooms but the kingdom of fungi still has a lot of teach us so maybe the information just isn't out there yet。 better to not suggest anything than spread misinformation。 excellent guide with great photos of young stages， caps， gills， and cross-sections of almost every mushroom listed as well as a size chart as compared to an adult hand。 also takes into account mushrooms which are edible in europe and may not be in north america。 only downside is that it is missing labels of toxicity of some mushrooms but the kingdom of fungi still has a lot of teach us so maybe the information just isn't out there yet。 better to not suggest anything than spread misinformation。 。。。more

This is one of the better mushroom guides I've come across。 I love the large color photographs of specimens as well as a 'compared to the size of your hand' chart to show the size。 I also really like the identification key in the front of the book that really helps narrow down the identification process。 My biggest complaint is that mushrooms are often listed as being 'edible in Europe' but 'unknown edibility in US' or 'palatable in Europe' and 'not palatable/toxic in US'。 I don't understand how This is one of the better mushroom guides I've come across。 I love the large color photographs of specimens as well as a 'compared to the size of your hand' chart to show the size。 I also really like the identification key in the front of the book that really helps narrow down the identification process。 My biggest complaint is that mushrooms are often listed as being 'edible in Europe' but 'unknown edibility in US' or 'palatable in Europe' and 'not palatable/toxic in US'。 I don't understand how if it's truly the same specimen， how it can be edible in one part of the world， but toxic elsewhere。 Still， a great identification guide but would still recommend cross-referencing。 。。。more

After many different mushroom books I still come back to this one as the easiest to use and identify mushrooms。 A good choice for a beginner and expert alike。

Nice big pictures， plenty of photographs and drawings and a nice section on cooking by Anna Del Conte

Jessi ，

The sections explaining how to identify mushrooms were very well illustrated and easy to follow。 However， this book was written for Europe， not North America， and although there is some overlap in edible species， it is not ideal for use here。
