If you are a mushroom enthusiast, you must have this complex book. It would also serve admirably as part of a graduate level mycology course.

The name 'S.-T. Chang' is almost synonymous with the cultivation and use of mushrooms
the personal practical experience, depth of knowledge, and enthusiasms of the authors shine in these chapters, which are to me the heart of the book
this new edition of the essential reference work mycologists involved in mushroom cultivation turn to will surely also play a role in helping promote mushroom cultivation and use.
