This guide will prove useful well beyond the geographical parameters stated in the title but can best be appreciated by those within the region for which it is intended.”—Bill Roody, author,Mushrooms of West Virginia and the Central Appalachians“This definitive field guide for the midcontinental states reveals mushrooms of the oak-hickory, maple-basswood, riparian, and eastern white pine forests plus those of the fields (including cornfields!). It bridges the gap between eastern and western mycological landscapes, offers beginners a way to identify local edible and poisonous species, and provides more experienced fungophiles with a view of fungal communities transitioning from deciduous woods to prairies. An excellent section on truffles of the region caps this new edition.”—Cathy L. Cripps, Montana State University, author,Fungi in Forest Ecosystems
