Does anyone know of a good mushroom / Fungus guide? During our nature hikes the last couple of weeks, the forest we visit is just "blooming" with mushrooms and other fungi in beautiful colors! (Never thought I'd say that about fungi!)    I wish I were more adept with my digital camera, I would show you the picture of the huge fungus growing out of a dead tree on the ground. It was amazing. It reminded my kids and I of a blazing sun rise. It was orange, yellow and red and grew out of the tree in sort of a semi-circle. The edges were fringed. Anyway, we took lots of pictures and made drawings of the various mushrooms we saw for our nature notebooks, but we really have no clue what the names for them are. I just wonder if there is actually a guide for fungus out there. It seems there is one for just about everything else! (We're sort of "guide collectors" around here!)

Becky, I have a friend who is a biochemist, and he eats all kinds of mushrooms. He uses the Peterson Guide to Mushrooms, and he hasn't died yet ...I have used it to identify most of the common fungus around here. It is very easy to use. I usually use Peterson guides for everything, but I was impressed that the guide was good enough for a mushroom hunter (and eater) to rely upon without risking his life.

Thanks MacBeth. I should have guessed Peterson would have one. They seem to have a guide for everything. We'll have to add this one to our collection.
