	Mushrooms Demystified by David Arora Mushrooming books do not get better than this! If you are interested in mushrooms (and why else would you be here?) and you don't have this book, you should buy it now! The book has the best introductory material about mushrooming that I have seen. It covers such topics as "what is a mushroom", names and classification, collecting mushrooms, mushroom habitats, and mushroom identification. Mushrooms Demystified is well illustrated with color and b/w photos, although more color photos would be nice. But the heart of the book is the great descriptions and discussion of each species. Over 600 species are given a full description and over 2000 are included in the excellent keys. Mushrooms Demystified is witty, well written, and accurate. It is most useful in the Western United States, but mushroomers everywhere will find much of interest here. A classic! Buy Mushrooms Demystified
	All the Rain Promises, and More... by David Arora "A hip pocket guide to western (USA) mushrooms". A fabulous field guide, packed with descriptions, color photos, stories and more. Covers hundreds of the distintive mushrooms you are most likely to find in the West, in a size you can carry in the field. A great first mushroom book or a companion to Mushrooms Demystified.

	The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms by Gary Lincoff With descriptions and color photographs of over 700 species of North American mushrooms, this may be the most comprehensive field guide to include a photograph of each species covered. The guide lacks keys, but the mushroom photos are arranged by stature type. Silhouettes are provided for the 14 stature types to help you get to the correct section of the color plates. The main problems with the book are with its organization, and the are the fault of the publisher, not the author. All of the color plates are grouped together in the front of the book, followed by the descriptions. This probably cuts down on printing costs, but it means you always have to flip back and forth from front to back to use the book. My main complaint is the use of arbitrarily invented "common" names on the photographic plates. This was a stupid decision based on the ignorance of the publisher. The vast majority of mushroom do not have common names, and the use of these made up common names only confuses things. In spite of these problems, the good photos and descriptions of so many species makes this a book all North American mushroomers should own. Buy The Field Guide to North American Mushrooms

	Mushrooms of Idaho and the Pacific Northwest: Discomycetes by Edmund E. Tylutki The discomycetes (cup fungi, morels, elfin saddles, earth tongues, etc.) are poorly covered in most field guides. This book provides a b/w photograph accompanied by an excellent description for over 100 species of these ascomycetes. Also included are very useful keys and a glossary. Although color photographs would be nice here, they would certainly raise the price of this very inexpensive book. Buy Mushrooms of Idaho and the Pacific Northwest: Discomycetes
