About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
A Guide to the Mushroom Species of Eastern North America. Are the red ones poisonous? Can you eat a puff ball? Our questions about mushrooms are legion. This handy guide offers answers to many questions you may have about wild mushrooms. Their seasons, colors, sizes, characteristics, and especially their edibility are dealt with in succinct detail, and colored photographs offer additional help in identification. Many mushrooms should be collected only by camera - but these ones are clearly noted in the text. Those which make such delightful additions to gourmet meals are here too, complete with hints on how to cook them and herbs to add. Whether you are a mycologist or a mycophagist this is an invaluable field guide.
