Mushroom Cultivation: An Illustrated Guide to Growing Your Own Mushrooms at Home Kindle Edition

The book was beautiful to look at, though I thought that the pictures could have been more helpful in showing some of the information that was being discussed instead of just looking pretty. The information was good, and can definitely get you quickly started producing your own mushrooms. The types of mushrooms discussed were limited but I think that was most likely in order to make sure, as a beginner, you get off on the right foot and are successful. The layout will definitely get you easily started cultivating right away. It is a helpful book with a nice variety of cultivation options but definitely aimed at the beginner and after finishing it I was left with a feeling of needing to look elsewhere for more info (i.e. the "why" of things, more advanced techniques and other mushroom species). It was a quick read and well organized but I would imagine if you have done any mushroom cultivation or have read any other books, this would be mostly review. As a newbie, it was very informative and I will for sure be referring back to it.

We love this book. We are looking to start cultivating and when my husband unwrapped this book at Christmas, he did not even play his new Playstation that day; he read this book. Has been a clear stepping stone toward becoming mushroom cultivators ourselves.

Good beginners book. Casual and easy to read with step by step instructions and pictures. Discusses only a few particularly easy mushrooms.

This book reads like the limited information was pulled from a website. I could find this information anywhere Very disappointed. I will need to buy a different book if I want to really understand growing mushrooms. My kids will use it as a study guide. It us a waste of money.

This book is a nice bit of information about mushrooms that we all know about and some mushrooms that some of us have never heard of before. It got me going on growing mushrooms.

Nicely written, easy to understand, explained clearly and with great illustrative photos. A pleasure to read after muddling through some other authors who don't know how to write but just put out an e-book to make money.

Very well written and great source of information on how to grow your own mushrooms. Very detailed with many photographs showing you what you need to do.

Good book for mushroom lovers

The book is detailed, lots of pictures and super simple to understand. You can start to apply the techniques right away in your mushroom beds, logs, hay or compost and sawdust/brown rice flour logs for growing inside your home as well.

The pictures are nice but whenever it's the authors pictures, the subjects (the mushroom) are not nice. For a recent book, i would have expected much more information. Nothing new can be learned. Overall it's disappointing.

Very good book well written
