Thank you for foraging with us
We loved sharing the thrill of discovery with you! Here are a few book recommendations for your path ahead.
John Wright
Roger Philips
Geoffrey Kibby
The best starting point for any budding mushroom forager. The book focuses on 50 good edible species, and also the toxic ones that you need to know about. John's voice comes through the writing and is a welcome invite into the world of fungi foraging.
An encyclopedic, photographic masterpiece featuring over 1250 clear images and descriptions showcasing british and european fungi for accurate identification. Often referred to as 'the bible'.
An INDISPENSABLE FOUR-VOLUME masterclass for serious mycology, illustrating and describing around 2,500 species using detailed watercolour paintings paired with microscopic spore drawings.

David Arora
A beautifully illustrated month by month field guide to foraging, including coastal foraging, plants and fungi, as well as safety advice, seasonal recipes and sooking tips.
An authorative, 1,700 page two-volume masterwork featuring over 7,000 photos of over 2,800 species. This is not cheap - but it is by far the best, most comprehensive guide so far.
This earns its place in any mushroom guide book list, if only for the best cover photo and title ever! But it is more than that. Arora blends authorative scitntific identification with eccentric humour, community annecdotes, recipes and folklore. A fabulous book.
