Picture 9Poisonous Mushrooms (marked in red)
A large proportion of mushrooms contain self-produced toxins that are poisonous. A mushroom containing dangerous levels of these toxins is known as a poisonous mushroom.

Introduction

The Pocket Guide to Wild Mushrooms is a smaller, portable version of our book Nya Svampboken, to be used in the field. The selection of species included is reduced, however it still includes the most important edible mushrooms and of course the most common look-alike mushrooms. Those who would like further information about the mushrooms presented in this book or find some species missing can refer to other resources, listed in the back of the book.

In the first edition of Nya Svampboken (1996), we introduced new symbols for the mushrooms and these can also be found in this book. The symbols are based on each edible mushrooms potential look-alike counterpart. Edible mushrooms in group 1 can only (within reason) be confused with other edible mushrooms. Those in group 2 can be confused with mushrooms that are unsuitable for consumption but that are not poisonous. Group 1 and 2 are what we call beginners mushrooms. Edible mushrooms in group 3 can be confused with slightly poisonous mushrooms, and those in group 4 can be confused with lethally poisonous mushrooms. We consider all mushrooms presented here to taste good, but which taste the best? Well it depends on a lot of factors including how they are prepared, what they accompany, including beverages, and of course personal taste.

Have fun foraging for mushrooms!

What is a mushroom?

All mushrooms presented here are made of mycelium, a network of thin threadlike structures in the ground (see photo on right). The mycelium forms fruiting bodies (see below) that mature and become attractive to mushroom pickers. The fruiting bodies can be compared to the fruit on a tree and have as their biological task to form spores, or reproductive bodies.
