With this guide, I want to pass on all the passion and experience I have accumulated over the years so that you, too, will become an expert researcher of edible mushrooms safely and quickly.

NO THANKS: Don't jeopardize your or your family's health! Thanks to the protocol for recognizing toxic mushrooms and the universal test for edibility, you won't take any chances. -MUSHROOMS USE AND PRESERVATION: Some wild plants can be consumed as raw food, but why stop there? You'll discover a plethora of preparations you can make: from teas to tinctures and salves (with tips on how to preserve them). And so much more!

This beautifully illustrated guidebook provides specific, easy-to-understand information on finding, collecting, identifying, and preparing the safer and more common edible and medicinal mushroom species of New England and Eastern Canada. Author David Spahr, a trained commercial photographer, here combines his mycological expertise and photographic skill to produce an attractive and detailed overview of his subject. Based on decades of practical experience and research, the book is written in a clear and forthright style that avoids the dry, generic descriptions of most field guides. Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms of New England and Eastern Canada also provides useful ideas for cooking mushrooms. Rather than simply providing recipes, the book discusses the cooking characteristics of each variety, with advice about matching species with appropriate foods. Many mushrooms contain unique medicinal components for boosting the immune system to fight cancer, HIV, and other diseases, and Spahr offers practical and prudent guidelines for exploration of this rapidly emerging area of alternative therapeutic practice.
