Start by picking a guide for your area and reading it thoroughly, especially focusing on the anatomy of a mushroom. Go hunting a lot bringing back what you find, take spore prints and work though the IDs. Also joining a NAMA affiliated club will help tremendously.

The Fifth Kingdom A bit more in depth

Also some very delicious edible mushrooms out there like Morel, Hen of the Woods, Chantrelle, Puffballs, etc. that you can just find. Picked probably 5 pounds of hens a couple weeks ago, roasted those bad boys, and added to a jambalaya-ish recipe. It was awesome. Gotta be careful and know what your looking for though. There are definitely some mushrooms out there that you DO NOT want to eat. You'll be a goner a couple days later. You can probably find a local mushroom hunting club to get some experience and this book is pretty legit. It's for Illinois and surrounding states but would be fine for pretty much the whole midwest. Never eat a mushroom you are unsure about! There are old mushroom hunters and bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old-bold mushroom hunters.

I've posted this elsewhere but here ya go...

> Avoid the Audubon guide. The Audubon guide is pretty terribad (bad photos, pithy descriptions, not user-friendly.)

> There are much better nationwide guides out there (like the Falcon Guide), but quite honestly you're better off with a regional guide.

> My recs for regional field guides:

> Alaska

> - Common Interior Alaska Cryptogams

> Western US

> - All The Rain Promises and More
