The Les Champignons de France guide lists and describes more than 380 species of mushrooms to discover in detail. An entire page is devoted to each species and symbols and pictograms allow you to quickly identify their characteristics. A guide to recognizing and collecting mushrooms with complete peace of mind. Identification of edible, poisonous and deadly mushrooms. More than 380 species.
A glance is enough to distinguish edible mushrooms from those that are not and assess their taste quality. The pictograms, constituting a sort of practical frieze at the bottom of the page, provide visual information on the habitat and morphology of the different mushrooms. Color photographs accompany the texts which specify the characteristics specific to each species, relating for example to their classification, their appearance, their habitat.
The mushrooms are described one by one in a precise order, corresponding in some way to their family tree, but they are also considered in a more general way in a very useful introduction to get a first idea of their diversity.
At the end of the book, gourmets will appreciate the tasty recipes accompanied by tempting photos. They enhance this well-documented guide addressed to all mushroom lovers, whether they are experienced mycophagists or simple walkers.

Of course, if you are not sure, seek the advice of a specialist or pharmacist !
