Description

Each year an amazing number of mushrooms make their appearance, seemingly to have popped up over-night. What kind are they, and are they poisonous? Here at last is a fabulous new guidebook to the common fungi found in the Northwest, to help you distinguish the different species. Duane Sept's crisp, vivid, colorful photographs help to describe many of the common species found in Alaska, western Canada and the northwestern United States. This hand-book is a must for mushroom fanciers, naturalists, campers, hikers and anyone who loves the outdoors.
