In search for a mini Library

[grey-array]

Hey there Lads and Lasses,

I'm searching for a series of books which will grant me the knowledge of identifying the basic plants, edibles, mushrooms , and perhaps aquatic life

I hoped to get my hands on a series of books which clearly explaines to me the most common species of mushrooms of northern Europe, with its purposes. basic edible plants and medicinal plants. and a book about identifying tree species
anything you guys could recommend

Yours sincerely Ruud

Have a look at : http://www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/collins-gem-mushrooms-2821-p.asp

No link to the store, just using the link as an example. You can probably buy them cheaper off ebay. Scroll down the page, there are other books in the series which might interest you.

RM's Wild Food is good. Large and heavy though. It follows the same (scientific) taxonomy as a flora / field guide - which enables you to make notes more easily. Thomas J. Elpel's "Botany in a day", is a good book for learning plants by large numbers (plants from the same family - even though they look quite different - have, according to Elpel, the same edible / medicinal properties).

Both Wild Food and Botany in a day are standing on my bookshelf, you're more than welcome to have a looksy.
