Reviews

Written by a master of mycology who deeply loves fungus, its habitats and its quirks.
*Tim Maddams, TV presenter, chef and cookery writer*

Geoff knows his stuff and puts it across in an easily accessible manner. This will be coming on all my fungi forages!
*Gary Johnston, co-founder and instructor at Jack Raven Bushcraft*

Bursting with quality photos and great information, achieving the 'balance between caution and adventure that a forager needs', this book is an absolute must for foragers.
*Fergus Drennan aka Fergus The Forager*

A must-have guide for anyone who likes to try edible fungi and wants to extend their knowledge.
*Penny Jones, Propagator at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum*

A fascinating, wise companion on the journey into the extraordinary and delicious world of fungi. Come autumn, it will accompany every foray I make into the woods, and my life, and my frying pan, will be vastly richer because of it.
