NEW BOOK ON CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS
Persson, Olle. 1997. The chanterelle book. Illustrated by Bo
Mossberg. Ten Speed Press, Berkeley, CA. 120 p. ISBN 0-89815-
947-4 [soft cover] Price US$16.95
Ordering information: Ten Speed Press, P.O.Box 7123,
Berkeley, CA 94707
Ten Speed Press published several extraordinary books that are
among my favourites. Arora's "Mushrooms demystified" treats a
serious topic of mushroom taxonomy and identification with a
light style and it is an indispensable guide to mushroom iden-
tification in western parts of North America. Another of my
favourites is the monograph on feline aesthetics, "Why cats
paint," an absurd gallery of paintings done by cats [see BEN #
82].
"The chanterelle book" is yet another outstanding book published
by this Californian publisher. It is an English translation of a
Swedish 1994 publication, translated and adapted for American
audience by Dr. Eric Danell (University in Uppsala), himself an
expert in the research of chanterelle. "In this book, European
and North American chanterelles are discussed from the multiple
perspectives of biology, ecology, geography, culinary science,
culture, and linguistics," wrote the authors in the preface. The
book is loaded with scientific information that is presented a
very readable style. A large portion of the book is a collection
recipes. Try "Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Chanterelles," if you
have a chance.
The illustrations by Bo Mossberg are superb. Each plate depicts
the particular species and gives few hints about its environment
by including details such as pine needles, beech nuts, etc. The
habitat is also illustrated by watercolours of forest interiors.
The only thing I missed in the book is a list of references.
Books are usually cited in the text, but for the journal ar-
ticles (such as how to produce chanterelle fruiting bodies in
the greenhouse) you have to do your own literature search. If
you are interested in chanterelles, you should also read "Can-
tharellus formosus and the Pacific Golden Chanterelle harvest in
western North America" by Scott Redhead, Lorelei L. Norvell, and
Eric Danell, published in Mycotaxon 65(1997): 285-322.
