Interesting and useful mushroom book which includes "everything from an insight into the extraordinary role of fungi in history and foklore to a vivid transmission of the thrill of the mushroom hunt itself. But above all, mushrooms are to be eaten, and at the heart of the book are its seventy superb recipes. ...Read this book and connect with the wild in you." "Johnny Acton and Nick Sandler offer a delightfully aphrodisiac dish of mystery and myth. They single out the way mushrooms develop and propogate themselves and they reveal how man over the ages has observed and written about these unique factors." (Roger Phillips). "Informative, interesting and mouth-watering, this is what mushroom enthusiasts everywhere have been waiting for." (Mike De Stroumillo).
