Sinopsis
In this work, the authors offer a myriad of ""how-tos"" when stalking and using mushrooms, from identifying an Old Man in the Woods, to sauteing a tasty Volvariella bombycina. Besides providing both the Latin and common names and descriptions of 235 species of mushroom found in the state, they have included 150 colour photographs of common and not-so-common species, a non-technical key for identification, a calendar of fungal fruiting seasons, and a list of all 548 species that have been located in Kansas. A guide to Latin names is included. Mushroom hunters should find a number of useful tips here, whether they want to eat their quarry, photograph it, or examine it under a microscope. The authors have included an overview of the geography and climate of Kansas, a history of mycology in the state, and practical advice. They have structured their information to suit the novice, the advanced amateur and the professional mycologist, offering general explanations and advice, as well as descriptions of mushrooms found not only in Kansas but also throughout the country, particularly in the Rockies.

Críticas
"It is good to see a first-rate guide to the mushrooms in Kansas produced by a capable and qualified team of enthusiastic mycologists. The general setup of the book provides quick access to information and informs the beginner about how to use keys, equipment, and even what species are the best to eat."--Orson K. Miller Jr., author of Mushrooms of North America "This is the best of recent regional treatments on mushrooms. Extraordinarily helpful."--Clark T. Rogerson, senior curator, emeritus, The New York Botanical Garden "From gastronomic delights such as chanterelles to the offensive but beautiful stinkhorns, the authors have covered the gamut of fungi that mushroom hunters are likely to find in their quest for common or unusual encounters of the good kind. Among the things that set this book apart from most field guides are the numerous hints and suggestions--often with personal, humorous touches--on how to collect, photograph, identify, and select the choicest mushrooms for the table."--Robert W. Lichtwardt, author of The Trichomycetes "Excellent color photographs combined with easy to follow keys and nontechnical descriptions make this an outstanding field guide and a valuable resource for anyone interested in mushrooms."--Alan E. Bessette, author of Mushrooms: A Quick Reference Guide to Mushrooms of North America
