Description

I do agree that this would be a great book for any artist who wants to try their hand at botanical drawings. The details in this one are just stunning and you can also see the way they did shadows and showed various bits of the mushrooms. I definitely saw some mushrooms I have never seen (either in real life or in books) so that was a delight though I wanted to know where I could find these so I could see them for real. XD

Descrizione dei funghi mangerecci piu cominu dell'Italia e de' venenosi che posono co' medesimí confondersi (Carlo Vittadini, 1832 - 35) The author explains each mushroom species in detail alongside a clear photograph. You get to discover the mushroom season, habitat, edibility, alternative names, and even some look-alike species. Dive in further and learn which mushrooms are edible and which are poisonous. You also uncover information about its different uses and any folklore relating to that specific mushroom. This book also contains a supplementary section on eating wild mushrooms. It includes cooking tips and some illustrations that identify the different parts of a mushroom. This is a well-rounded guide that makes it essential for those of you ready to move from reading into action. Pros and Cons of National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms by Gary A. Lincoff Pros That being said, aside from a coffee table art book, I don't believe this book offers much, which makes the ebook less worthwhile. I believe a collection of essays, either interspersed or added in another section, would help take this over the top. Essentially, for this to really feel like a good ebook, it needed more, in my opinion. Best Psychedelic: The Psilocybin Mushroom Bible: The Definitive Guide to Growing and Using Magic Mushrooms by Dr. K Mandrake and Virginia HazePlease note: We present this information for educational purposes only and do not encourage the use of psychedelic mushrooms or other mind-altering substances. Pros and Cons of The Psilocybin Mushroom Bible: The Definitive Guide to Growing and Using Magic Mushrooms by Dr. K Mandrake and Virginia Haze Pros The chapters are selected from different historical books of mycology from the 18th - 20th centuries and from several disparate geographical areas in Asia, Europe, and the New World. The pictures are drawn from 11 collections and the style of the artist/naturalists and original media varied widely. I was fascinated by how varied the representations of the same species, Amanita muscaria for example, could be whilst still being perfectly recognizable. The reproduction text is still in the original languages (German, Japanese, Italian, French, etc).

As the title suggests, this is truly a botanical art book featuring various "...mushroom and fungi paintings by European and Japanese naturalists in 18th to 19th century...". If you are looking for something deeply informative and educational, this may be the wrong book for you. However, if you're looking for something to feast your eyes upon and delve into bits and bobs of thoughtfully written, well researched nuggets of historical information regarding various naturalists and mycologists, this is just the book for you! Can we really talk about mushrooms without touching on psilocybin? If you have a curiosity about this age-old and newly re-emerging topic then The Psilocybin Mushroom Bible: The Definitive Guide to Growing and Using Magic Mushrooms by Dr. K Mandrake and Virginia Haze is the book for you. It's a fascinating book of history with beautiful illustrations. I would not recommend it as a field guide, but as an interesting book full of fungi, it's wonderful. This would make a nice selection for public library acquisition, for gardeners, gardening groups, smallholders, and lovers of botanical art.Each chapter contains fascinating information on the artist and his drawing characteristics as well as history of genus names and other pertinent details. Amanita muscaria and Amanita caesarea, for example, are easily recognizable and observing different depictions is brilliant...though there are slight differences, the anatomy in each is correct and perfect. Atlas des champignons comestibles at vénéneux de la France et des pays circonvoisins (Charles Richon, Ernest Roze, 1888) Toshimitsu Fukiharu was born in Fukuoka, Japan, and graduated with a doctorate from the Department of Forest and Biomaterials Science of the Faculty of Agriculture at Kyoto University. He serves as senior researcher at the Chiba Open-air Museum Boso-no-Mura and is a part-time lecturer in the Faculty of Integrated Human Studies at Kyoto University. Toshimitsu Fukiharu specializes in the natural history of mushrooms and researches ammonia fungi, which uniquely grow in places where animal excrement and carcasses have decomposed. His published works include Kinoko no shita ni wa shitai ga nemuru?!―Kinshi ga orinasu fushigi na sekai (Underneath Mushrooms Are Carcasses?!―The Magical World Woven); Mitsukete tanoshimu kinoko no wandārando (Discover and Enjoy the Wonderland of Mushrooms); Shogakukan no zukan NEO: Shokubutsu (The Shogakukan NEO Picture Book of Plants); and Kangaeru kinoko: Maka fushigi wārudo (The Many Faces of the Mysterious Mushroom).

In this book, Merlin Sheldrake, a young biologist, gives you a different perspective. You get the fungal point of view. Sheldrake’s approach touches on everything from yeast to psychedelics. He touches on the fungi that link plants together in intricate networks and those that span over several miles underground. After reading this book, you might question human evolution and intelligence. Fungi are surprisingly precise and the author examines their roles as key players in most of life‘s processes. The goal is to change your mind, understand how fungi can heal your body, and explore deeper to prevent environmental disasters. Fungi finds are delightful and memorable...the foreword sums up my feelings on fungi precisely. My recollections of thousands of individual sightings are forever etched on my mind, where and what the circumstances were. Mushroom botanical art is beautiful, functional and important. This book includes several gorgeous botanical art collection excerpts mostly from Europe and Japan before the invention of photography, often with longitudinal dissections and anatomical views which are crucial in identification. The illustrations and colours are so incredible the mushrooms are easily identifiable, often as well as (or better!) than photographs.
