This book is gorgeously illustrated throughout and contains information on over 450 species of fungi from all over the globe. You get to enjoy clear photographs of all the different types of mushrooms and with each image, you get annotations and descriptions. The book explains the different anatomical sections and features of fungi. You can then organize your own foraging finds using the visual ID guides. The book also contains key information on fruiting, habitats, and it helps you identify edible and poisonous mushrooms.That being said, aside from a coffee table art book, I don't believe this book offers much, which makes the ebook less worthwhile. I believe a collection of essays, either interspersed or added in another section, would help take this over the top. Essentially, for this to really feel like a good ebook, it needed more, in my opinion. The #1 Best Overall book about mushrooms is Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures.
