With a dash of humor and a dollop of science, Michael Kuo selects the
top 100 mushrooms best suited for cooking. Like Kuo’s very popular
book Morels, 100 Edible Mushrooms is written in the author’s
inimitable, engaging, and appealing style, taking the reader on the
hunt through forest and kitchen in search of mycological pleasures
and culinary delights. Kuo describes in detail how to identify each
species, where and when to find them, and how to cook them in
creative and delicious recipes. The mushrooms presented in the book
are the most often eaten varieties, and a description of the button
mushrooms found in the grocery store is included. All of the
mushrooms have at least one full-color illustration and some several
more to aid in identifying and distinguishing look-alike and
nonedible species. An indispensable book for mushroom hunters,
naturalists, and cooks Michael Kuo, an English teacher in Illinois,
is the developer of mushroomexpert.com, a popular online resource for
mushroom identification and morel hunting.
