Bloomsbury Green Guides are portable handbooks to the most commonly found species in Britain and Europe.

A huge array of mushrooms and toadstools grow in our woodlands and fields, from the deadly poisonous to the delicious delicacy, and correct identification is crucial. The Green Guide to Mushrooms and Toadstools makes identifying them easy for beginners and amateur naturalists alike.

A detailed introduction includes colour photographs and information on classes of fungi, poisonous fungi and how to go about identifying species. Concise descriptions include information on appearance, habitat and distribution and advice on whether or not the species is edible.
