Mushrooming is a popular and rewarding pastime—and it’s one that you can enjoy with the right information at hand. Mushrooms of the Northwest is the field guide to get you started. The region-specific book utilizes an innovative, user-friendly format that can help you identify mushrooms by their visual characteristics. Hundreds of full-color photographs are paired with easy-to-understand text, providing the details to give you confidence in the field.

Product description

About the Author

Teresa Marrone is the lead author of three regional field identification guides for wild mushrooms (Mushrooms of the Upper Midwest, Mushrooms of the Northeast, and Mushrooms of the Northwest). She is also sole author of more than a dozen outdoors-themed books, including the Wild Berries & Fruits Identification Guides series (currently available for four regions of the U.S.). She splits her time between her home in Minneapolis and her cabin in northern Minnesota, abutting the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. With a background in the visual arts, Drew Parker has always had a strong attraction to the natural sciences, as well. He found his focus in fungi after arriving in the Northwest in 1973 and innocently wandering into the mountains with a new mushroom book in hand. He is a longtime member of the North American Mycological Association and the Pacific Northwest Key Council, a group of amateur and professional mycologists that was formed to further the study of Northwest fungi. Over the years, he has served as foray mycologist for the Spokane Mushroom Club and has worked for several years conducting surveys of macrofungi for the U.S. Forest Service. As a photographer, Drew has supplied images for numerous mycological papers and books, as well as for MatchMaker, a digital mushroom identification program, of which he is a coauthor. He currently resides with his wife, Katie, at their home in the wild woods near Metaline Falls, Washington.

This was a gift for my granddaughter and she loves it! The book is laid out in such a fashion that it is even easy for a 10 year old to use and understand. She brought it to show us on their last visit and I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the material and the structure of the information inside.

I live in the Pacific NW. This book has great pictures and descriptions of fungii. On my first hike in taking the book along to identify the ones I was taking pics of, it identified over a dozen of the ones I looked at. Compact and easy to carry.

Well organized with great photos, this is exactly the kind of guidebook I was looking for. I am a neophyte mycologist and while I have a few other books on the topic, this is the one I’ll be taking into the woods on my next mushroom hunt. It’s smaller than my (admittedly large) hands, but big enough to be useful. So happy to have this one!
