Of all the groups of wild mushrooms, none have engendered more enthusiasm and affection than the boletes. Their inherent beauty, abundance, and, for many, culinary appeal have firmly established them in the hearts of mushroom hunters around the world. The habitats, geographic distribution, and ecology of boletes--including the intriguing relationships they have with trees and shrubs--only add to their interest.
Boletes of Eastern North America, Second Edition offers readers a comprehensive field guide, providing extensive descriptions and more than 450 rich color photographs. Each species listing includes the most recent scientific name with existing synonyms; common names when applicable; and an overview with field impressions, similar species, and detailed information about habitat, fruiting frequency, and geographic distribution. Updated and expanded from the previous release to incorporate new photos and an improved, more readable layout, this is an indispensable resource for mycologists, mushroom hunters, foragers, and cooks alike.Author Biography
