This book Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms (Paperback) by Paul Stamets is very well written, easy to read and understand and provides all the information regarding growing mushrooms for food as well as for medicines. Once you have gone through this book I personally feel that you will not require any other book to read about mushrooms as this book has covered almost all important information about mushrooms.

There is a wealth of information on just about every mushroom that people use for food or for medicine. Apart from various important topics covered by the author one of the best subject covered in this book is about the cultivation problems and their solutions.

This book provides valuable information both practical as well as know-how about mushroom cultivation along with the miracle of possibilities in cultivating mushrooms for the environment, nutrition, and health benefits of Reishi and other mushrooms. The author provides the details on how to achieve success in cultivating mushrooms by individual cultivators as well as by commercial operations. You should go for this book if you want a practical guide to growing mushrooms indoors or outdoors.
