From fear and loathing to adulation and worship - mushrooms have long evoked a range of diverse reactions. Whether they're cultivated for food, religious sacraments, medicine, or a variety of other newly discovered uses, fleshy fungi have gained a high level of respect for their delicious flavors, groundbreaking medicinal properties, and unrivaled environmental importance.

With precise growth parameters for 31 mushrooms species, this bible of mushroom cultivation also includes gardening tips, state-of-the art production techniques, realistic advice for laboratory and growing room construction, tatsy mushroom recipes, and an invaluable troubleshooting guide. More than 500 photographs, illustrations, and charts clearly identify each stage of mushroom cultivation, and a 24-page color insert spotlights the intense beauty of various mushroom species. Whether you're an ecologist, a chef, a forager, a pharmacologist, a commercial grower, or a home gardener- this indispensable handbook will get get you started, help your garden succeed, and make your mycological landscapes the envy of the neighborhood. A popular lecturer both nationally and internationally, Paul Stamets has a strongly held conviction about the expanding role fungi will play in developing friendly economies and in improving health on this planet. His first two books, 'Psilocybe Mushrooms and Their Allies' and 'The Mushroom Cultivator' are widely acclaimed throughout the mushroom industry.
