Identify edible species which should be left alone because they are threatened Photos show each species in its natural habitat, to aid identification. Perfect for all ability levels - from absolute beginner to the experienced fungi forager who'd like to become an expert.

A fascinating, wise companion on the journey into the delicious, world of fungi. Come Autumn, it will accompany every foray I make into the woods, and my life, and my frying pan, will be vastly richer because of it. - Rob Hopkins, founder of the Transition movement.

Put it in your rucksack, and let it guide you on safe, fun fungal adventures. - Fergus Drennan aka Fergus The Forager
