Common Mushrooms of the Northwest

Common Mushrooms of the Northwest by J. Duane Sept is a newly revised, easy-to-use paperback designed to help you identify many of the mushrooms found in the region. It uses crisp, colorful photographs by Duane Sept to cover 130 species—some edible, some poisonous, all intriguing—so you can compare what you see with what’s pictured.

Beyond identification, this guide also includes sections on preparing and storing edible mushrooms, plus mushroom ecology and the parts of a mushroom. Take it along on your walks in the woods and you’ll feel more confident about the mushrooms you encounter, while picking up practical information along the way.
