Within these pages, you’ll discover beautifully illustrated mushrooms that grow in forests around the world. But beware: mushrooms come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, with some varieties looking remarkably similar to one another. These resemblances can be deceptive, and even an experienced eye might mistake a safe mushroom for a poisonous one. Mushrooms like the harmless Oyster and the toxic Conocybe filaris can look alike in size, color, and structure, proving how important it is to appreciate nature’s beauty but not take chances with what we consume.
You may enjoy becoming familiar with these mushrooms by looking them up as you go. Many of these mushrooms have very vivid pinks, reds, yellows, oranges and velvety blacks. Colors to enjoy and inspire.
