David Spahr, proprietor of Mushroom-Collecting.com, has a new book out on the edible and medicinal mushrooms of New England and Eastern Canada. According to Author pens book on mushrooms by Mechele Cooper:

“I used to be a photographer so I took my own pictures for the book and started a Web site,” he said. “I say here’s how you find them instead of giving one-word descriptions. I don’t do much with recipes, but I give directions for the correct preparation of each species. They’re like vegetables. They have different colors and flavors and textures. My book matches mushrooms to cooking processes, which works the best.”

Here’s a neat photobucket show of mushroom photos from Spahr’s website:
