Edible Mushroom Field Guide
A set of 36 high-quality mushroom collecting cards, each featuring a common British mushroom with a high-quality photograph on one side and detailed notes on habitat, identification and culinary notes on the reverse. Better still, they are packaged in an attractive windowed tin which not only keeps your cards safe from crushing and the elements, but gives the pack a wonderful ‘retro’ look, making this the perfect gift for any mushroom or nature lover. 
Unlike conventional ‘pocket’ guides, these tough laminated cards are designed to be popped, one or two at a time, into a pocket when going on a speculative walk. Simply select a couple of seasonal species and if lucky, you will come back with a basketful of unexpected gems: if unlucky, at least your pocket will not be stretched out of shape and you shoulder will be ache-free.
£9 plus £2 P&P
