Cook, Langdon

Fishers, environmentalists, naturalists, and armchair travelers will enjoy this passionate and well-written account, as will fans of Catherine Schmitt's The President's Salmon.

Not simply about mushrooms, this book examines human behavior, economics, food, society, and nature. In the end, readers will have learned a great deal about U.S. economic and social structures—all while being entertained and enlightened by stories of gastronomy and mushrooms. Highly recommended.
