    Identifying Fungi

    Just wanted to pass along a free field guide to fungi that a friend clued me in on.

    http://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/38089

    He said it takes about a month for the print copy to arrive, but I noticed there's a pdf format as well. I'll have to try to remember that so I can download it later.

    The only three I am confident of identifying are morels, puffballs and chicken-of-the-woods. So I will for sure be getting this book. Remember, if in doubt, any doubt, DO NOT PICK IT; DO NOT EAT IT!!
    Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775

    Quo Vadis?

    Luke 22:36, And he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

    I got this in a couple weeks ago. It very clearly states the same, don't go for what you don't know...

    I'm pretty impressed with it though. Its small and light enough to pack easily, and the pages are durable enough to take some abuse and be water resistant. I can't compare the level of info to other guides, having no basis of comparison, but I think it seems to get the important points out that I'd think to ask about, and is full color throughout.

    OMG great fine. Fungi and mushrooms are something that I would steer clear of because I do not trust myself to know exactly what it is. So many of them are deathly poisionious and they look so much alike. So this book will help with all the pictures. Thanks.

    Did you look on here in the free kindle or the pfd threads? I am sure I gave the link to several books a while back. I will look over what I have on my computer and see if I can get you one. I love Forging for food and I eat my yard in the spring and summer,
