From grassland fairy circles to alpine nano-shrooms, the Rocky Mountain region invites mushroom hunters to range though a mycological nirvana.

This ecology-centered approach places each species among surrounding flora and fauna and provides a trove of fascinating insights on how these charismatic fungi interact with the greater living world.

"What a wonderful, engaging book. Beautifully written, informative, and based on decades of field experience. I want this book in my library!"--David Rust, President, North American Mycological Association "A truly significant contribution to the field. The presence of mushroom species unique to this region and not covered in mushroom field guides will make this book desirable to both professional and amateur mycologists."--Michael W. Beug, coauthor of Ascomycete Fungi of North America: A Mushroom Reference Guide "Attractive, authoritative, and well-written… The inclusion of many pictures of trees, wildflowers, birds, and large creature will especially appeal to general naturalist types and so the book could serve as a welcome present for that special hiker friend."--The Mycophile
