A good reference book

This is a good reference book for your library. It is well done with the exception of the artist renderings, which are good, but not as good as photographs & the data is separated from the renderings, which I find a little more difficult to use. I much prefer "All That the Rain Promises & More" by David Arora, his photos are very representative of what you will see in the forest & the book is organized to where the photo & information are together in one area.

An excellent guide with exquisite watercolour illustrations.

Helene M. E. Schalkwijk-Barendsen's guide to the mushrooms of Northwest North America is an excellent introduction to this subject. Schalkwijk-Barendsen covers all the mushrooms one is likely to encounter in this region with both informative text and beautiful watercolour illustrations also painted by the author. Species are referenced by both common and Latin name making this book accessible to both the interested novice and the experienced mushroom enthusiast. This book should be a first-choice for anyone who love the outdoors, mushrooms and art.
