Field Book of Common Mushrooms - With a Key to Identification of the Gilled Mushroom and Directions for Cooking those that are Edible

About this book

The "Field Book Of Common Mushrooms - With A Key To Identification Of The Gilled Mushroom And Directions For Cooking Those That Are Edible" by William Sturgis Thomas is designed to assist persons who are interested in mushrooms in identifying some of the species of gilled fungi found growing in fields, woods and dooryards. Dr. Thomas has brought together in condensed and usable form descriptions of 128 species, compiled from Peck, Murrill, Atkinson, Kauffman and other recognised authorities, in many cases from publications now out of print. Accompanied by beautiful illustrations from the well known artist Miss Mary E. Eaton of the New York Botanical Garden. This early work by William Sturgis Thomas was first published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction.
