More than 500 photographs, illustrations, and charts clearly identify each stage of cultivation, and a twenty-four-page colour insert spotlights the intense beauty of various mushroom species.  Whether you’re an ecologist, a chef, a forager, a pharmacologist, a commercial grower, or a home gardener—this indispensable handbook will get you started, help your garden succeed, and make your mycological landscapes the envy of the neighbourhood.
