Shrooms for food

HOW TO FORAGE FOR MUSHROOMS WITHOUT DYING by Frank Hyman As the title implies, this is a very interesting book. People ask all the time if the mushrooms you see growing wild are edible. I happen to be married to a Shiitake mushroom grower, so I have all the mushrooms I'll ever need. I think this book would be a very handy resource to have, in the event of an apocalyptic event, if food becomes hard to attain. Everyone would become a forager and it would be awesome to know what mushrooms are edible and which are not. We live in the woods and are always on the lookout for morels. I have known people who hunt all of the wild mushrooms for food and fun. The author gives expert advice as to what you are looking for and what to avoid when hunting for mushrooms. Highly recommend. Much gratitude to #netgalley for the complimentary copy of #howtoforageformushroomswithoutdying I was under no obligation to post a review.
