Lv2hnt Report post Posted July 19, 2015 No kidding --- mushrooms will be plentiful between now and September! For some excellent related links, Google > (1) Arizona Mushroom Club, (2) Arizona Mushroom Forum, (3) Arizona Mushrooms Primer (Sorry my previous links wouldn't work ...)

TRKHNTR Report post Posted July 20, 2015 What are the best books for identifying the edible ones? I've been picking for several years mostly learned from an older couple from Poland that came up here every year and picked mushrooms. I also have a good reference book I use All That the Rain promises and More... by David Arora. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
