"Since the publication of the first edition of this book, important
developments in biotechnology and mushroom production made a new,
revised version necessary. … [This book] forms a comprehensive and
up-to-date source of information for all interested in edible and
medicinal mushrooms and their cultivation."
- Peroonia, 2004
"The name 'S.-T. Chang' is almost synonymous with the cultivation
and use of mushrooms…the personal practical experience, depth of
knowledge, and enthusiasms of the authors shine in these chapters,
which are to me the heart of the book…this new edition of the
essential reference work mycologists involved in mushroom
cultivation turn to will surely also play a role in helping promote
mushroom cultivation and use."
-Mycological Research, February 2005
"If you are a mushroom enthusiast, you must have this complex book.
It would also serve admirably as part of a graduate level mycology
