Fascinating Fungi of the North Woods

Have you ever been walking in the woods and found a large shelf-like fungi on the side of a tree? This little book is your guide to 118 species of mushrooms and fungi that are found in northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Organized by gill structure (those blade-like slits under the cap), there are 6 categories found here: gilled on the ground, gilled on wood, gilled on other material, and nongilled on ground, wood, or other material. Written by Cora Mollen and Larry Weber, with color illustrations by Rick Kollath and Bonnie Wenborg, each profile is 1/2 to 1 page in length and includes a color illustration, a brief description of the fungi and its habitat. There is also a notation of the months when it is most prevalent. A ten page introduction provides general information on mushrooms and fungi, and a bibliography and glossary in back make a complete package.
