Summary: Huge!! Comprehensive, but has a few faults.
Comment: This book really gets into those fungi!! I got this book for my wife and I to use as our complete reference book on mushrooms. The book is a little intimidating because it gets so in-depth. And definitely lacks in good pictures. However, after reading a lot in this book you really start to learn a deeper side to those mysterious fungi. Great humor and candor mixed in throughout the book. The step by step ID section has been right-on in helping to identify mushrooms. There are quite a few I have been unable to identify if only I had a great picture of it! Some of the Step by step groups are so extensive its easy to get lost in them without ever finding your mushroom. By far the the most complete book on mushrooms I've seen but probably not for the total beginner. I will be looking for a companion to this one with more color pictures to help. Don't get me wrong, if you want to really get into mushrooms, or already are into them, this book is a must.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: Dave Arora has written, in my opinion, the best book on the subject. It is full of useful information, as one should expect from such a weighty book on the subject. It is a must have for anyone who stomps the same mushroom hunting territory as the author. Mr. Arora's wit and proficient, if not skillful, use of the English language makes this book surprisingly funny and readable. My only caveat is that the book does not contain much information for those readers who are interested in cultivating mushrooms.
