Review
There are few mushroom books that concentrate on fungal information in this specific region and this book is an important contribution for those living in the area. This is a beginner s identification guide and the Introduction is a must-read for those new to the subject. ... A unique and helpful feature of this book is the circle icon that appears on the upper left side of each species account. It represents the spore print colour an important mushroom identifier and a first step to positive identification. ... The author is an award-winning photographer and his photographs in this book are beautiful, capturing the typical shape, colour and habitat of each species --Fungifama (SVIMS Newsletter), October, 2006
Common Mushrooms of the Northwest is a handy little book to take with you for the pure fun of naming these exquisite plants. Its clear and very colourful photos will help sharpen your eyes as you tramp along roadsides or through woods this fall. --Island Tides Newspaper, Oct 19, 2006,
