still in the dark

Sure, great recipes. Interesting anecdotes. But there is a paucity of photos to help identify the mushrooms whose names abound. A page or two of plates giving mushroom photos with their names would go a long way. I am still faced with bushels and bushels of mushrooms I could buy, but no way to know even what category each falls into. Where I shop, mushrooms do not come with name tags.

Applause from Jim Schlott

Dear Joe,Haven't talked to you in about ten years, but still working "in the mushroom". Recently consulting for a new plant in Oklahoma...more news on this soon. Say hello to your friend, Paul Tetlak, who brought you through my mushroom farm in Blandon, Pa. You can reach me through my friend's web address for now since I would like your net address.Regards, Jim
