Publisher Description
'Roger Phillips has written the best mushroom book I know.' - Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, author of River Cottage Veg Every Day!
The culmination of over thirty years' work, Roger Phillips's authoritative and superbly illustrated reference work is packed with information and original photographs. The essential illustrated mycological encyclopedia, this book is also clear, user friendly and will appeal to a wide range of readers.
Unsurpassed in both illustrative and descriptive detail, Mushrooms contains over 1,250 photographs, often showing the specimens in various stages of growth, and includes all the latest botanical and common names as well as current ecological information on endangered species.
Having sold more than 750,000 copies in Europe of his previous title on mushrooms, Roger Phillips's Mushrooms once again sets the benchmark. Quite simply, nobody with an interest in the subject can afford to be without this book.
Customer Reviews
Roger Phillips Mushrooms
I have used the book successfully for a number of years and wanted it on my iPad. I have the Collins Bird Guide and it is very usable being adapted as an e book. I also have the Helm Guide to Bird ID, a facsimile edition, so not so easy to navigate through but manageable. Mushrooms is dreadful! Each species is on a separate page with no means of comparing similar species. I could use the contents page but e. g. “Mushrooms with Gills” runs from page 45 to 1,083 with no means of gauging where a particular genus, let alone species, is likely to be found.
I should have realised it has been produced as an easy option as it is only 78MB compared with the Bird Guide at 10 times that figure.
A total waste of money as far as I am concerned.
