Edible & Poisonous Mushrooms by M.C. Cooke.

Edible & Poisonous Mushrooms by M.C. Cooke is a richly illustrated and practical guide for anyone curious about fungi in the wild.
 
First published in an era when foraging knowledge was often passed down by word of mouth, this book provided a vital reference to help distinguish between mushrooms that nourish and those that harm.
 
Cooke’s clear, observational prose is paired with a generous collection of coloured illustrations: an invaluable visual aid for amateur naturalists, ramblers and gardeners alike. More than just a field guide, it’s a window into Victorian scientific curiosity and a classic in the world of botanical literature.
