The only issue I have with this book is that Paul is operating on such a grand scale. Much of his ideas and suggestions, though absolutely sound, need to be downsized if intended to be applied by this reader. Not a big issue for me, as the foundational understanding, is what I was truly after, and this book provides that. I plan to read it again once I’ve finished with the author’s other book, Mycelium Running. If you don’t have that book yet, quit screwing around and go buy it. Such a good read! And for those gardeners among us (like me), pair this and Mycelium Running with Teaming with Microbes (Lownfels&Lewis) and Teaming with Nutrients (Lowenfels). There are a lot of books, but these have all been great for me in my pursuit of a healthier food source for my family. Atherosclerosis is a killer, people. Source your protein better. Paul will show you how.

Anybody that grows mushrooms should have this book nearby

This is Paul Stemets continuation and addition to his original how-to book, “Mushroom Cultivator”. I own both of these books and refer back to them often. This one goes into cultivation techniques at a more advanced level. Some of the ideas are more up-to-date as it was written many years later. This book covers a wider range of mushroom species and growth parameters. I would definitely recommend both of his books to anyone interested in growing mushrooms. This book also has a large section of color photographs, which his previous book does not. This book also covers more aspects of commercial cultivation of many species of mushrooms. I’ve used specific recipes from this book to mix my own agar for petri dishes, make my own mushroom spawn, and growing substrate. I’ve used the recommended temperature/humidity ranges with great success for growing Oyster, Lion’s Mane, and Shiitake mushrooms. While there have been improvements on some of the techniques and ideas outlined by this book, since it’s last revision, this book still offers the most complete and decisive understanding of mushroom cultivation as a whole. This is great book for beginners and experienced growers alike.
