The Fungal Pharmacy: The Complete Guide to Medicinal Mushrooms and Lichens of North America Paperback – November 15, 2011

I must be careful about what I write, but this is amazing information, based on Pacific Rim countries clinical studies/data on the medicinal mushrooms listed in it. I dare not write much more except that in my personal use of this book and these mushrooms, I have enhanced my life, longevity and overall health naturally in ways a Pharmaceutical approach/side effects CAN NOT TOUCH! I to date have enjoyed 11 years I was told I did NOT HAVE! At the price of this tool for practitioners I believe you will see, experience and believe.

Wow! I have a lot of mushroom books (were all mushroom addicts in my home) BUT THIS ONE takes the cake! It is the most comprehensive, well-made, easy-to-understand ( even the real nerdy parts) one I have ever seen! I bet David Aurora would have loved this book too!

If you love mushrooms, this book is for you!Simply put, it's the absolute best and most informative mushroom book I have seen.Highly detailed medicinal properties and scientific studies of reference. Incredibly interesting.I went back and forth on this due to the price, but I don't regret it for one second. I would buy it again if I spilled water on it!

Very excited to read and have this book. I do have to note that it came with a defect, some pages stuck together and too short, I had to rip them apart which caused a tear in a page. Not a huge deal for my purposes.

This book definitely exceeded my expectations. This is the book that I had wanted to find but didn't think existed. It covers everything.It breaks down the appearance, locations to be found, how the mushrooms are cultivated, how they have been used throughout generations throughout different cultures around the world, a plethora of information regarding different studies that have been done by different governments and universities, medicinal uses, some advice on dosages, and sometimes even those comparisons between different delivery methods i.e. Tinctures powders capsules essence's teas.It's an incredible book. I I would compare it to a textbook, or encyclopedia, or maybe a cookbook, but really it's all of them just much easier to read, better looking, and easier to find and use information from.A very well put together, excellent book.

Has so much to read, yet for someone who is into this I can't stop reading. Fungi are fascinating.

a ton of information

This book has super great information with sharp, easy to read print and vibrant color photos.
