The Mushroom Cultivator by Paul Stamets
Long hailed as the "bible" for mushroom growers, it's an indispensible guide for anyone seriouly contemplating cultivation. It offers detailed info on all aspects of growing 16 edible and psychoactive species, and comes profusely illustrated. We really can't recommend this book highly enough; it has introduced so many people to the joys of cultivation and remains a standard among growers and mycologists. 415 pp. Softcover.
