Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Great info on shrooms (although I agree with previous reviewers that he does not include sufficient scientific references). This is probably a good book for "beginner" mushroom lovers that buy their products from stores. HOWEVER, for wild mushroom hunters that get their stuff from the woods in their NATURAL environment: THIS IS NOT THE BOOK FOR YOU! I was most disappointed with the recipes. The author only highlight a narrow range of mushrooms (mostly medicinal) and the recipes call for dehydrated mushrooms and/or he promotes HIS OWN COMPANY'S mushroom powders (which I mean, hey it's his own book so it's fine if he wants to promote his own stuff, but if I had know I was paying for a giant advertisement for Four Stigmatic I would have never purchased it). If you are looking for recipes for wild-foraged mushrooms like trumpets, chanterelles, chicken of the woods, boletes, etc, then definitely look elsewhere (one of my faves is "Untamed Mushrooms" - stunning photography and absolutely delectable recipes for the most commonly foraged edible wild mushrooms).
