Mushrooms: River Cottage Handbook No.1

Mycologist John Wright explains the dos and dont's of collecting mushrooms, including relevant UK laws, conservation notes, practical tips and identification techniques.

He takes us through the seventy two species we are most likely to come across during forays in Britain's forests and clearings as well as the more unfamiliar names, edible species including the velvet shank, the horn of plenty, the amethyst deceiver and the chicken in the woods.

The handbook is completed by more than 30 simple and delicious mushroom recipes from the River Cottage team.
