It was not written for the taxonomic specialist but for a more general lay audience of mushroom enthusiasts. All of the mushroom clubs in the U.S.A. and Canada better have this book on their bookshelves. Beginners learning mostly fleshy fungi for the first time will find this a welcome addition to their mushroom library. State and national parks and conservation agencies in the Appalachian region should have this book available for sale in their welcome centers. College, university, and public libraries will want to have this book available for the general public to enjoy the biodiversity of fungi. Naturalists, summer campers and hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts who may wish to learn more about the wonderful world of fungi beneath their feet will find this book a good place to start. I highly recommend this book for all the myco-bibliophiles who want to enjoy fungi collecting in the field. I bought it!"--Harold W. Keller, Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, "Walt Sturgeon has studied mushrooms for over forty years and has become one of the great field mycologists of our time."--Tom Bigelow, New York Mycological Society Newsletter, "This may well be the most accurate guide I have seen.
