I had the pleasure of receiving a review copy of Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast, a comprehensive guide to the fungi of coastal northern California, and all I can say is: I'm impressed! Beautiful book.
This amazing volume is a treasure for anyone interested in
collecting or just knowing about the fungi of coastal northern California. The
book is comprehensive and well-written, with excellent photographs of every
entry. Extra information includes a general overview of mushrooms, their
morphology and ecology, and a section on the trees of the coastal region -
complete with photographs and descriptions.
Collecting and identification are covered extensively, and
the book concludes with a glossary, list of additional reading material,
bibliography, and complete index.
My only complaint – a big one – is the size of the type
used. The entire book is printed in what looks like 6 point type. Very
difficult to read for anyone without perfect eyesight.
