Reviewed on Amazon despite buying it directly from you!

For some reason my name doesn't show , but it's no problem, I meant every word.
This is an awesome book !
You've put a lot of work into this...
Bargain, for a book that I know will be used for years to come...

Thanks again Geoff!
👍
 
I think I am correct in identifying Macrolepiota procera, the parasol mushroom at work this morning (short day today :D)
Had to put on via youtube as I still can't get my photo's on anywhere. If I am hugely wrong on the ID let me know as there are about twenty more of them there.

The book is superb, as we're the Agaricus urinascens!

The possible panthercap had no obvious trees around it (cliff top.) I went back and took some pics of the area, if it helps?
 
Just as a follow up to my recent post...
I made a risotto with some dried portobello (shop bought) and two large fresh Parasols last night and got a big thumbs up from Suzy.
I have also dried some Parasols for use later, the smell from the dehydrator was very much like warm milk, fresh ones seem to have a mild smell of warm milk too.

I wonder if this is a suillus?





Payday later this week. Definitely buying the new mushroom book!

The smaller cap in the top picture is a smaller/younger version of the upside down one. The top of the upside down one is darker, more browny red.
 
Have a few recent discoveries, some I think I have ID correctly

First looks like a small Beefsteak only a about 2" across and Fairy inkcap?

Unusual peach colour on this,

Possibly Boletus legaliae? other examples of this grew to around 6-8" across

Well I received the two copies I ordered today. I won't go on but I agree with all that's been said. An awesome book. Well thought out, informative the pictures are fantastic. When I got home tonight I was greeted with, " we've got a Shaggy Inkcap in the garden. I thought she'd gone nuts as I didn't know the books had arrived. Just spent an hour looking through. Have to say it's a great book. You must be very proud Geoff. Very well done. It will definitely not gather dust on the bookshelf. Congrats.
