Radical Mycology: A Treatise On Seeing And Working With Fungi Paperback – February 2, 2016

You will appreciate the personality of this book - this is hands down my favorite that is scientifically tuned and I genuinely look forward to reading it every night.As others have stated: it is dense with information, starting from the general and working up to a comprehensive study and guide with many fun applications - I mean it when I say there is definitely something for everyone and you will not regret buying (my mom bought this after 30 minutes of looking through mine).Unique about this book: You can start from the top or skip ahead to a chapter you need, and he will reference and mention where he discusses the future information or predicated knowledge relative to the current context if you are like me and need to know all the details.One last thing: everything is covered... you will *not* need to Google or YouTube another subject or buy another mycology book in addition to this - the time I spent pouring over the other books on Amazon, should have been solely invested in this piece of literature.

Product is as shown. Nice hefty weight, my husband loves his gift. Very informative for a mycology lover!

If you got as far as reading this, it would be a shame not to get a copy. For me it's a deep sea of wonder. I'm just learning to swim but loving what I can digest and there's no hurry. Peter McCoy's love for the world shines throughout. I'm very happy I bought it.

This might be my favorite book. This book is perfect to geek out to mushrooms. Multiple times, I started getting very excited by the information I was learning. For instance, endothermic mushrooms are known to live symbiotically with 95% of plants, but if a plant develops a problem and becomes a danger to the ecosystem, the same mushroom that was previously helping that plant can actually switch roles and kill the plant, preventing it from damaging other plants. That blew my mind.

Excellent book, but the binding should be made better. Another problem i have is that i travel a lot and find myself in weird locations and would LOVE to have the kindle version to read. Currently i’m writing in a 6’ tunnel , 130’ in the air and i have run out of pictures i took in the morning to read at work during down times. PLEASE make this available digitally! As far as info, it’s golden and i highly recommend !

If you had to have one book on the cultivation of mushrooms, i'd pick this one. It's a mega-reference of information on medicinal and edible mushroom mycology.

This book is a must have for anybody looking to learn any and all things about fungus. It's a giant book filled with a ton of information so tread lightly. Went from knowing almost nothing to knowing things even my professors haven't heard of. Thanks for all the knowledge bombs!

I really like this book. The last time I purchased mycology books was over twenty years ago when when I got Stamets books. I like how this book shows how mycology can be more accessable to the home cultivator. It has lots of charts and ideas.
