It's an amazing book. I have a number of reference books about mushrooms, and this one rates right up there with the best. Kuo not only keeps the read interesting using wit and wisdom, but he covers a lot of the issues people deal with concerning mushrooms as edibles. He takes the important and rational route by discussing toxic lookalikes FIRST, then references the passage as he covers individual edible species. The Audubon book and others cover many more mushrooms, but they're not focusing on edibles, which is what many people look for. Personally, I cross reference everything, especially with something like edible wild mushrooms. This is an important tool to that end.
