About this ebook
'Roger Phillips has written the best mushroom book I know.' - Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, author of River Cottage Veg Every Day!
The culmination of over thirty years' work, Roger Phillips's authoritative and superbly illustrated reference work is packed with information and original photographs. The essential illustrated mycological encyclopedia, this book is also clear, user friendly and will appeal to a wide range of readers.
Unsurpassed in both illustrative and descriptive detail, Mushrooms contains over 1,250 photographs, often showing the specimens in various stages of growth, and includes all the latest botanical and common names as well as current ecological information on endangered species.
Having sold more than 750,000 copies in Europe of his previous title on mushrooms, Roger Phillips's Mushrooms once again sets the benchmark. Quite simply, nobody with an interest in the subject can afford to be without this book.

1 star as it won't let me give none this may or may not be a good book. but I never ordered it but still ended up paying for it and Google will not refund me my money after contacting them .stay away from even previewing it as it looks like Google need to raise some extra funds so are randomly charging to people's accounts.

December 2019 - errors still not corrected. The eBook is full of them e.g. "Stem 30701535mm". The paperback version is great but the eBook is not worth purchasing until the numerous errors are corrected.

I have the paperback copy which is excellent, this digital copy is riddled with mistakes. Measurements in the descriptions are misprinted throughout the book. I.e cap is 203456cm across? This should be addressed. Edit: I have a refund pending, but should the developer correct these issues I would be happy to purchase again. Such a shame, as the paperback is excellent.
