Re: 6-10 trip
Micus,
Is there a book you could recommend to get a fella started on mushroom picking year-round? I know a bunch of us are missing out on some good eating during the summer and fall.

Re: 6-10 trip
There are a lot of different good books out there. The one I use the most is the "National Audubon Society Field Guide To Mushrooms." A book on Missouri mushrooms is in production by MOMS/MDC but I'm not sure of the release date.
Never rely on a single source for identification of a new edible. I use at least three and often more sources, preferably at least one source should pass for human.
