If you are passionate about mushrooms and love to collect them, “Atlas of Mushrooms” is a must-have book in your bookcase. Among the many edible, inedible and poisonous species, it is easy to get confused. This is especially difficult in a dense forest or when one is just starting out on the adventure of collecting. “Atlas of Fungi” is a very useful item written by Markus Fluck, which you will certainly want to reach for more than once.

This title first of all allows the reader to distinguish between edible and poisonous mushrooms. However, it is worth mentioning the introductory section, which will introduce you to the world of mushrooms, expand your knowledge of their cultivation and cite many recipes and ways to use them. It also presents basic concepts and definitions. The author explains in a very simple way what mushrooms actually are, describes their structure and the locations of each species. This will help you enrich your knowledge and learn many interesting facts that you didn’t know before. An example is the bag fungi, which few in Poland have heard of, but which are actually one of the most abundant species!

A great asset of the book are the color photos of the more than three hundred species of fungi depicted, which are most common in Central Europe. It is well known that some items contain unrealistic photographs or simply sketches. In such a case, it is difficult to distinguish between poisonous and edible mushrooms. After all, in their natural environment they can take different shapes, forms, be bitten off or just look almost identical. The author divided the mushrooms into seven groups based on the division of the fruiting bodies.

“Atlas of Mushrooms” is a reliable source of information, the book is ideal for seasoned mushroom pickers, as well as for beginners. Even having walked in the forest for many years, we should check information when in doubt and not rely solely on intuition.
