It doesn’t have identification keys and says little about edibility, but is good newer enthusiasts and armchair mycologists who want the big picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMushroom science has changed a lot in recent decades. DNA sequencing has redrawn the fungal family tree, and familiar species have new names and new relatives. This guide was built from scratch to reflect that. Species are arranged by order, following the Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life project, and color-coded sections show at a glance how mushrooms are related to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach species account includes up to five photos, along with range, season, spore print color, look-alikes, and conservation status. Introductory essays cover mushroom anatomy above and below ground, common host trees, how fungi are named and classified, fungal ecology, and how climate change is affecting mushrooms. A glossary, an index, and a ribbon marker round it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt’s a hefty, flexibound volume of more than 700 pages, better suited to the bookshelf or coffee table than the trail. If you want to understand how the fungal kingdom fits together, this is a gorgeous place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: National Audubon Society\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies descriptions: Jacob Kalichman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEditor: Jim Cirigliano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Alfred A.
