Katya Arnold ranges through the world to find hundreds of varieties of mushrooms, as well as fascinating anecdotes and fun facts that make these wonders of nature exciting and immediate. A walk in the woods will never be the same!

    AUTHOR’S NOTE

    This book is about my passion for mushrooms, a passion typical of anyone raised in Russia, as I was, or in China or much of Europe. American parents take joy in teaching their children to identify flowers, trees, and birds. It is my hope that this book will help families discover the special excitement of hunting and naming mushrooms. The book is an introduction to the world of mushrooms. It is not a field guide intended for use in identifying mushrooms. For that information consult the books listed here and contact your local mycological society. Common sense tells us not to eat any wild food without first obtaining expert identification. Some mushrooms are poisonous. Never eat a mushroom unless you can positively identify it.
