Mushroom hunters:  What books do you recommend?  I've heard the warning
before that one should learn from an experienced mushroom hunter rather
than trusting a guide book, but what do you do if an experienced
mushroom hunter is not available?  I understand that some species of
edible mushrooms look too much like poisonous varieties to take chances
if you don't know what you're doing, but there are others that look nothing
like any conceivable imposter.  In the absence of a mycologist, one might have
to avoid the former variety, but a good field guide should be adequate
for the latter.
