4.0 out of 5 stars Knowing what to look for..., 23 Sep 2004
By Norman Yap "londonnorman" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In picking mushrooms, there are 2 approaches:

- show the good and the bad and have copious notes to explain the two
- show only the good and advise the picker to ignore or discard anything that doesn't appear in the book.

Jordan follows the latter and safe as it is, there is always something that makes you want to know about the Dark Side of mycology, just in case you should wander into its temple one day...

Easy recipes, sound advice, safe approach.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great help to identification., 4 Oct 2007
By Ms. F. Cockwill "magicsparks" (Surrey UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a pleasure to use and so helpfull, information is key with mushrooms, if your not sure, dont touch it!
I find best to look out for a selection of specific and easily recognised and confirmed species, such as sulphur polypore, giant puffball, cep (penny bun) also Tree ears can be in abundance but dont fry them!! they jump about!
use them for sauces.
Happy Hunting!
