Medicinal Mushroom Book Available for Review
Cover of The Fungal Pharmacy
(Update 09/010/09 – the book has been claimed. Look for the review soon.)
Author Robert Rogers was kind enough to send to MycoRant his book, The Fungal Pharmacy . Subtitled Medicinal Mushrooms of Western Canada, this spiral bound edition contains 230 pages of color photographs and text.
Robert has been a student of plant medicine for nearly 40 years, including 18 years as a clinical herbalist. He is a professional member of the American Herbalist Guild and author of thirteen books on medicinal plants of Western Canada. Robert has a Bachelor’s Degree in Botany. He has taught plant medicine for over 20 years, and is an avid fan of our indigenous plants and mushrooms. Robert and his wife Laurie are owners of Self Heal Distributing and Scents of Wonder essential oils.
The book is not a field guide. It focuses on providing information of a medicinal nature about a wild range of fungi to be found in Western Canada.
If you have some knowledge and interest in medicinal mushrooms, and live in the Northwest quadrant of the United States, or in Western Canada, MycoRant would be happy to send you this book for review. Reviews should be fair, professionally written, and be 300-500 words in length. Send your request and contact information to MycoRant via email or by direct message on twitter.

I am a native Alaskan, and have been familiar with traditional medicinal plant usage all my life. Would like to read about fungal pharmaceuticals. Thank you.
