   Agreed - and he warns of lookalikes. (Mushrooms and Other Fungi of Great   
   Britain and Europe)   
      
   A thousand photos, with descriptions, habitats, times of appearance, etc.   
      
   BUT - learn the poisonous ones: while you can eat all fungi, one or two   
   of them you only eat only once - they don't give you a seond chance.
