The wave of the future in gardening

Every gardener should buy this book. The literature on mushrooms is vast, but this book is a perfect beginning and guide.

A Very Useful Guide to Medicinal Mushrooms

As an herbalist who has had this book for several years, I find that I return to the book again and again. Chris Hobbs puts together research and his own clinical background on a wide variety of mushrooms. Highly recommended.

Great Book on Medicinal Mushrooms

Where else where you find such a great work on medicinal mushrooms. Hobbs puts it all together here; read, learn and enjoy better health.

Great treatment of an obscure topic!

Hobbs brings forth great information that is not available elsewhere in English. Just the information about Schizopyllum commune and PSK is worth the price of the book. After reading this book, I no longer pass the medicinal mushrooms by on my forays.
