Summary: A "must" for anyone hiking through this part of the world
Review: Profusely illustrated with full color photography throughout, Vera Evenson's Mushrooms Of Colorado And The Southern Rocky Mountains is a definitive and completely "user friendly" reference manual ideal for the non-specialist general reader. The beautiful photography showcases the mushrooms in their natural habitats while the text provides keys, clues, and diagrams to help identify mushrooms found in the field. The subject of poisonous mushrooms and how to avoid eating one is simply invaluable, while the basis of mushroom structure, life cycles, habitats, and names is as authoritative as it is informative. With more than 170 mushroom species represented, Mushrooms Of Colorado And The Southern Rocky Mountains is a "must" for anyone hiking through that part of the world to enjoy the region's diverse fungi.

Summary: Helpful
Review: To find out which mushrooms grow in this area, I purchased "Mushrooms of Colorado" as soon as I moved to live at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and I wasn't disappointed. I learned basics of mycology from my father and grandmother, and I'm happy to attest that V.Evenson's book not only showed me the mushrooms I was already familiar with and that are common here, but greatly extended my knowledge of fungi in general.

Summary: perfect guide for the Rocky Mountains mushrooms
Review: what a wonderful book. Inexpensive too. Beatiful photographs. It very well applies to mushrooming in the Rocky Mountain region. Many other books have pictures that don't quite match the hues, color, setting of the mushrooms I see in Colorado, but the pictures in this book does.
