Part of the ideal amatuer mycology library!
 |
I have read this and several other mushroom cultivation books. This book, coupled with Stamet's Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms, makes for the absolute best reference materials for growing your own mushrooms.That said, I'll mention the only thing that may disappoint a reader. His treatment of agar techniques in either of his cultivation books leaves a little to be desired. If you feel uncomfortable working with petri dishes after reading his sections on it, you may wish to check out "Laboratory Excercises in Microbiology" (ISBN 0-697-35443-1) by Harley and Prescott. It is a little more than a fellow needs to know about microbiology, but it is an excellent reference for aquainting on with aseptic agar techniques. Aside from this, Stamets has certainly beaten the competion with this book!

Practical is exactly right
|
|
This book excellently describes exact details for mushroom cultivation in a very understandable fashion. It gives precise parameters for several commonly cultivated mushrooms and a lengthy list of common contaminants and their cure. The book gives methods for small time cultivation as well as professional large-scale production. In general, it is a great primer on the subject of mushroom cultivation.

"Practical" is VERY misleading
 |
|
I purchased this booking hoping to find basic information on growing mushrooms for culinary use. Instead I was overloaded with technical confusing information on the SCIENCE of growing fungus, NOT practical if all you want to know is how to grow your own ediable mushrooms. I was very disappointed.
