description: Colorado is blessed with an abundance of relatively undisturbed habitats, from 3500' elevation on the plains to over 14,000' on the mountain tops. These different regions support a wide variety of mushrooms. This pictorial booklet has been compiled for the novice naturalist and for the many people who enjoy eating mushrooms. We hope they may be led to parks, woods and meadows to pick their own choice morsels.  Along the way they may come to enjoy collecting and classifying these interesting plants for their beauty, oddity and unusual habits, thus adding new interest to hikes and picnics in outdoor Colorado.
