Rich with the science and lore of edible fungi—from seductive chanterelles to exotic porcini — The Mushroom Hunters is equal parts gonzo travelogue and culinary history lesson, a fast-paced, character-driven tour through a world that is by turns se creative, dangerous, and quintessentially American.

This newly released paperback from our favorite forager is a page turner for any fungi enthusiast!
