About this eBook

The ideal portable companion, the world-renowned Collins Gem series returns with a fresh new look and updated material.

This is the perfect pocket guide for nature and foraging enthusiasts keen to identify the most commonly found mushrooms and toadstools in Britain and northern Europe.

Authoritative text, beautiful photographs and detailed illustrations show the distinguishing features of each mushroom and toadstool, including details of size, habitat and when it can be found, whether it is edible or poisonous and most importantly, which similar species it can be confused with and why.

This new edition builds on the strengths of the unrivalled original, now expanded to include over 240 species of mushroom and toadstool.

This book needs wifi.... Rubbish. How can you possibly go foraging in the woods with such an app. Don't buy. Plus illustration are tiny and of poor quality... Please refund my money.

With pictures, but too simple at times. Could have been more detailed.
