As a scientist, clear, concise communication is extremely important to me which is why I love Karen's book. She gives the all necessary details a novice needs to begin foraging wild amazing mushrooms on their own. My favorite bit is her inclusion of specifically when to seek these fungi in different parts of North America. This will save people time, effort, and frustration. --Dr. Mark Merriwether Vorderbruggen, author of Outdoor Adventures Guide Foraging, creator of www.foragingtexas.com, Ph.D. chemist
