- A discussion of the factors that make some mushrooms abundant
- A general discussion about mushroom toxicity, its prevalence, and putting to bed a few common myths and misconceptions
- The UK’s 5 most poisonous fungi species, how to identify them, and some grizzly details about their toxicity
- A discussion of the myths and often unfounded paranoia regarding toxic mushrooms
- 5 of the UK’s most abundant, tasty late season (October/November) edible wild mushrooms, and how to find, identify, considerately harvest, propogate and use them
