Mushroom Finder

Auteur

Jacob Kalichman is a field mycologist from California and Tennessee. While studying logic at Stanford University in 2010, he became devoted as an amateur to wild mushroom identification and photography. With an ongoing interest in identifying gilled mushrooms in difficult genera, he has also taken up digesting and sharing updates in mycological taxonomy. He compiled a compendium of generic names of agarics and Agaricales, published as a paper in 2020 and continually updated. He also maintains suggested common names and associated guidelines for North American fungi. He wrote the current edition of the National Audubon Society Mushrooms of North America. 
 Roo Vandegrift, PhD, is a queer scientist and illustrator.

As a National Geographic Explorer, Roo coordinated a multi-disciplinary expedition to the Los Cedros Biological Reserve in Ecuador, and he is producing the forthcoming documentary film Marrow of the Mountain. He is currently the Plant Pathologist at the USDA Plant Inspection Station in San Diego.

"Begin to identify mushrooms across North America with this pocket-size guide by Jacob Kalichman. Not your typical mushroom guide, the booklet is aimed at breadth rather than depth-so you're likely to find the content that you're looking for, but you might not be able to identify a given fungus to its specific species or genus. To that end, Mushroom Finder provides a dichotomous key to identifying fungi. Simply answer a series of simple questions about the location, shape, or appearance of the mushroom, including its cap, spores, and stem. Along the way, professional illustrations by Roo Vandegrift help you arrive at a positive general identification"--
