Purchase options and add-ons

In the first of an exciting new River Cottage Handbook series, mycologist John Wright explains the ins and outs of collecting, including relevant UK laws, conservation notes, practical tips and identification techniques. He takes us through the 72 species we are most likely to come across during forays in Britain's forests and clearings: old friends the Chanterelle and Cep, as well as a whole colourful host of more unfamiliar names - edible species including the Velvet Shank, the Horn of Plenty, the Amethyst Deceiver, the Giant Puffball and the Chicken in the Woods, and poisonous types such as the Sickener, the Death Cap and the Destroying Angel.

The handbook is completed by more than 30 simple and delicious mushroom recipes from the River Cottage team. With colour photographs throughout, line drawings, a user-friendly Key and an introduction by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, The River Cottage Mushroom Handbook is a comprehensive and collectable guide, destined to be an indispensable household reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginner's Book
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2017
Verified Purchase
Got this for my wife so we could harvest mushrooms growing around our house. The book gives very simple instructions on determining if certain mushrooms are edible and even provides recipes on some of them. We have used it a couple of times and are still alive. Good book for any beginner.

The book was beautiful; however, I didn't realize that it was written in 'American' yet, based on UK fungi. I'm not sure if it will be at all useful here in Maryland, USA.

this book was a present for one of our friends that is completely obsessed with mushrooms and also want to improve his english. So when we found that book , we knew we needed to get it for him. The book is very well written and got some beautiful photos like in all river cottage books. A great present for the mushrooms lover in your family or friends.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2022

This is a great guide for the forager or anyone interested in fungi. It concentrates on the best edible fungi, points out the most important things to watch out for and includes some lovely recipes. It's also written in a very lively and enjoyable style. It has pride of place on my foraging shelf and I also bought a copy for my sister. Thank you!

The perfect book for mushroom foraging - I would recommend this book to everyone who forages. Great pictures, descriptions and how to avoid the in-edibles! The signed copy was a personal “treat” !
