Description:

Can you tell a Morel from an Inky Cap, or a Puffball from a Lion’s Mane? If you, like millions of others, are mushroom-curious, these flashcards will be your perfect knowledge builder and outdoor companion. On each card you'll find:

• a detailed illustration of a common North American mushroom
• key identifiers, such as the mushroom's gills, spore, bulb, and cap
• the mushroom’s popular and Latin name
• information on size, color, spore print, season, habitat, and range drawn from The National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms and National Audubon Society Mushrooms of North America.

Whether you’re a new explorer or a seasoned mushroom hunter, New York Botanical Garden Mushroom Identification Flashcards will make it easy to identify your fungi findings—and the laminated cards easily wipe clean after a trip through the woods. An additional card also offers authoritative online and print resources for any aspiring forager. This deck is not a resource for identifying mushrooms to eat.
