But I wouldn't recommend you just get that book and go hunting. Even some mushrooms listed as edible in many book scan spark allergic reactions in some people. And sometimes mushrooms listed as edible in one book are listed as toxic in another! I went looking for a good mushroom guide years ago, and I discovered that there's just no substitute for finding someone who really knows mushrooms to take you mushroom hunting. The only mushrooms I'd recommend to novice gatherers are puffballs and morels, and even as distinctive as morels are, people still gather false morels.
