An authoritative fungi guide provides a quick identification source to more than 450 rare and common species, from the familiar pink-gilled field mushrooms and giant spongy puffballs to the infamous slimy stinkhorns and meaty bracket fungi.

Acclaimed Italian cooking writer Anna Del Conte reveals where and when to forage for edible fungi, and how to gather them. Her recipes will tempt you to transform wild mushroom finds into fungi feasts. With complete information on finding, identifying, gathering, and preparing edible mushrooms of every kind, this is a book no mushroom lover should be without.
