review 1: I gave this 4 stars even though it's not especially well written. It is a great beginner's guide to the world of mushrooms, covering all of the areas in which I was interested. He cites personal experience along with a decent amount of scientific literature, and he provides a helpful reading list for delving deeper into specific topics. I doubt there is a better introductory text for the field.
review 2: Currently at page 66. Good, easy to read educational book. My only disappointment so far is the lack of photos. Very hard to try and describe mushrooms without lots of photos but then this is not a full on identification guide but rather "An enticing invitation into the fungal realm, accessible and a pleasure to read" as reviewed by Katz on the back of the b... moreook. The title tells a lot. And now, a week later, tis read.An enjoyable read for what most people are likely to find is a very "dry" subject. Lots of trivia and but it is nice to finish a book and think that you have learnt something new. I think a general knowledge of fungi would certainly help before taking this tome to task, and still think that more photos would aid some of the explanations but Marley does a good job in presenting information on many aspects of the macro fungal world. less
