An estimated 12,000 to 25,000 different fungi grow in Alberta, with new species found and recorded every year. This guide takes readers through the most common and delicious edible mushrooms of Alberta and the Rocky Mountains. Vivid full-colour photographs and clear, detailed descriptions will help readers accurately identify their finds and note the best seasons for each species. Discover the wide variety of Alberta mushrooms, including morels, boletes, inky caps, oyster mushrooms and the more fantastically named “Green Gill-Gobbler” ( Hypomyces luteovirens ) and “Pig’s Ears” ( Gomphus clavatus ). Water-resistant and pocket-sized, this foldable guide features full-colour photographs and clear descriptions of common edible mushrooms found in Alberta and the Rocky Mountain region—plus the not-so-edible look-alikes to avoid. Lightweight and simple to use, it’s an ideal introduction to foraging for curious nature-lovers.
