Reminiscent of nineteenth-century botanical prints, the full-color illustrations in these small nature guides are miniature watercolors, as delightful to look at as they are accurate. Beneath each illustration the reader will find the popular and scientific names, size, range, and a concise description of the habitat or an interesting bit of lore. Ideal for the backpacker or dayhiker, the books fit handily in the pocket.From the delicious morel and giant puffball to the destroying angel, whose names speak for themselves, the common mushrooms of the Rocky Mountains are presented. Cross references to poisonous look-alikes (or harmless cousins as the case may be) are included.Miller, Millie is the author of 'Chanterelle: A Rocky Mountain Mushroom Book' with ISBN 9780933472976 and ISBN 0933472978.
