Everything is here, from insight into the extraordinary role of fungi in history and folklore to the vivid evocation of the thrill of the mushroom hunt, from an exploration of the wonderful growth of mushrooms to their magical properties. There are identification guides to the edible species featured, and colour photographs to aid identification. The title also contains 70 recipes. Some feature familiar varieties such as roasted vegetables with ceps and chargrilled field mushrooms with avocado salad. Others introduce species which are less well known, such as horn of plenty baked in red wine. All are imbued with the spirit of the mushrooms themselves.

Johnny Acton and Nick Sandler have hit the toadstool on their head with their new book, Mushroom. -- Mike de Stroumillo, Wild Harvest

From the Publisher:

Johnny Acton and Nick Sandler are two men with a mission to educate the UK public on the hitherto undervalued subject of mushrooms. Since spotting and bemoaning the fact that the last decade has not produced a decent general book on mushrooms, they have set about their task with gusto by producing the definitive guide to all things fungal and edible: Mushroom. Whether a mushroom nut, or a cookery enthusiast, this book is an ideal addition to the cook's bookshelf.
