My favorite mushroom books that I own:

Mushrooms Demystified by David Arora
-a massive book... no need to say anymore.

Edible Wild Mushrooms of Illinois and Surrounding States by Mcfarland and Mueller
-great book for our area, but missing some mushrooms common to the area

100 edible mushrooms by Michael Kuo
-overall good book


Books I really want to get:

Mushrooms of the Great Lake Region - The Fleshy, Leathery, and Woody Fungi of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and the Southern Half of Wisconsin and of Michigan

Morel mushrooms in Michigan: and other Great Lakes states

The Art of Cooking Morels

Morel Hunting by John Maybrier

Morels by Michael Kuo

Morel Mushrooms: Best-kept Secrets Revealed by Michael E. Phillips

I have read many of these, but just want them for my collection.

Anyone else have input?
