Mushroom Cultivator: A Practical Guide to Growing ... (ISBN 0961079800)

Just What I Was Looking For !:
Im very new to cultivating mushrooms at home. I tried many different approaches and information found on the web about the subject, but had many dissapointments. After I read this book I am now aware of the many bad turns you can take that will drive you mad. Now I am very happy, everything is going onroad, thanks to Paul Stamets and his knowledge. This book is a MUST buy for anyone interested in growing mushrooms in small or big scale.

good starter book:
This book does give you a lot of basic information. However, "Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms" would probably be a better choice if you intend on trying to grow mushrooms.

Mushroom paradise:
This book should be called the Mushroom Bible and Stamets and Chilton our saviors. Each chapter is very detailed, with the exception of the compost chapter. I'm not exactly sure what to do with it. However, this is a great book. Combined with a little internet research, a grower can be able to grow ANY type of mushroom in mass quantities! A great but and a great read!

A Marvelous Book!:
This is the most comprehensive and attractively put together book on fungi on the market today, particularly for those of us 'amateur' Mycophiles who want to experiment with 'growing our own.' I have great respect for the amount of work that went into this volume, and it is one of the most treasured books in my library. Anna Marie Fritz, author of "Funny Feline Fotos," and other books.

A Beginners Bible to the Mushroom Cultivation:
Being my first book on mushroom cultivation (not to mention the mushroom industry), this book was really awesome. The book is quite technical yet easy to understand. The amount of information is just right for a beginner like me, to have an indepth understanding of mushrooms. It is a MUST read for all mushrooms enthusiast!
