Screw Oprah, I can recommend some classy tomes. The cover of this book alone should make you want to buy it - a man, a horn, a tux, and mushrooms . . .
A reviewer's comment:
David Arora LOVES mushrooms! Not only that, he knows a LOT about them. This book is more than any other field guide I've owned. It allows for quick and easy identification of common mushrooms, which is important. However, it shows us the human side of the fungal world. Delicious recipes, stories of friends and funny anecdotes are sprinkled among hard facts. Colorful photos abound of both the mushrooms themselves, but also their happy finders. Old japanese men, young girls, cheerful bearded men and even a few happy dogs are all shown with glee at their find. Mushrooming is not something people do as a chore, its what they do as a passion.
The last time I checked, "the human side of the fungal world" was something to be cleared up with antibiotics.
