A 2nd edition of a popular local field guidebook, Mushrooms of the Upper Midwest, has been recently released. The co-authors, Teresa Marrone and Kathy Yerich, are long-time MMS members. This book is popular with local foragers, especially those just starting to learn about mushrooms and how to identify them. The book organizes mushrooms by shape and color, rather than by genus and species, as is typical in many guidebooks. This way, one can find mushrooms by visual characteristics instead of by name. The Top Edibles and Top Toxics sections provide a quick reference to these important categories. The book is also small enough to fit in your back pocket when out in the field!
The 2nd Edition Includes:
- 75 new species!
- Scientific names are updated as mycologists learn more about how a species evolved; its classification and, therefore, scientific name may be revised.
- Improved binder to better withstand field use
- A Kindle version of this edition is also available for use offline on your mobile device, perfect for use in the woods.
Where can you get your copy? You can order it online now at Amazon, or purchase one at any MMS meeting.
