Books that provide more info than field Mycology
The Kingdom of Fungi Excellent coffee table book has nice pictures and a breif guide to Fungal taxonomy and biology.
The Fifth Kingdom A bit more in depth
Introduction toFungi Textbook outlining metobolic, taxonomic and ecological roles of fungi. Need some level of biochemistry to have a grasp for this one but it's a good book to have.
Well, you said field guide, so I am assuming you don't want to lug around the 30 lbs of Mushroom Demystified in the woods as you forage. This one is MUCH smaller. It is pretty good with a ton of good pictures.
better to learn both poisonous and edible.
Eastern US
Mushrooms of the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada The most recently published for the NE
Mushrooms of the Northeast by Walt Sturgeon An excellent pocket guide, Walt does a good job mentioning the lesser known look alikes.
Mushrooms of Northeast North America A great guide for beginners, with many pictorial and dichotomous guides to ID fungi.
Mushrooms of Northeastern North America Has the most species listed for the NE.
I had always been intrigued by the look of mushrooms and liked photographing them. Then I found a morel once, which was super exciting and made me want to learn the identifications of more mushrooms. I hunted, studied and observed for months before eating anything - if you live in the midwest or east of there and you're looking for a book to get started, I recommend Mushrooms of Northeast North America: Midwest to New England.
I've posted this elsewhere but here ya go...
> Avoid the Audubon guide. The Audubon guide is pretty terribad (bad photos, pithy descriptions, not user-friendly.)
> There are much better nationwide guides out there (like the Falcon Guide), but quite honestly you're better off with a regional guide.
> My recs for regional field guides:
> Alaska
> - Common Interior Alaska Cryptogams
> Western US
> - All The Rain Promises and More
>Midwestern US
>
>Southern US

Eastern US

> As an aside, books like Mushrooms Demystified, Lichens of North America, Mushrooms of Northeastern North America, and Mushrooms of the Southeastern United States are too large and cumbersome to take out in the field, but are all excellent references to have at home for ID after a foray.
