This book Mushrooms Demystified: A Comprehensive Guide to the Fleshy Fungi (Paperback) by David Arora is simply the best and most complete mushroom field guide and reference book, with over 950 photographs. The layout and the presentation are excellent and to me this is truly an encyclopedia of mushroom facts and lore. This book has been lavishly illustrated with full-color photographs, literally everything you need to know about mushrooms, edible or not.

When you go through this book you will get a comprehensive knowledge about over 2000 species of mushrooms with description and photographs. This book has detailed information about mushrooms with a Beginner's Checklist of the 70 most distinctive and common mushrooms plus detailed chapters on terminology, classification, habitats, mushroom cookery, mushroom toxins, and the meanings of scientific mushroom names. Though everything is not flawless but still this book is a must read once type and I would strongly recommend it.
