Mushroom Books for Michigan
The Audubon Society
Field
Guide to North American Mushrooms, Gary H. Lincoff.
There's
a reason it's printed on "Bible paper". Portable, authoritative, comprehensive. The "common" names [an Audubon
Society
must] are made-up, and weren't that
common. They and the Latin binomial
names may be somewhat outdated, but
the latter
will be understood.
Mushrooms
of West Virginia and the Central Appalachians. William C. Roody.
In spite of the regional title good coverage of Midwest
mushrooms;
up to date [2003].
Mushroom
Demystified, David Arora.
Many species included; aimed at Pacific coast but useful
everywhere. A bit
chatty.
Mushroom
and Other Fungi of North America, Roger Phillips.
A
big, useful, comprehensive picture book, with handy descriptions.
Mushroom of Northeasten North America, Alan F. Bessette,
Arleen R. Bessette. David W. Fisher.
Broad
coverage, a bit
ponderous for field use.
A Field Guide to
Mushrooms

Synthesized "common
names"; illustrated not with photographs but
superior sketches by VBM.
North American
Mushrooms,
Orson K. Miller Jr., Hope Miller.

Orson Miller; a portable updating of the 1978 classic.
