The importance of the book is not limited to Western Canada; it is also useful for all of North America. The general information contained in this book is useful to all those interested in medicinal mushrooms. In this book, the reader can find information on the medicinal properties of approx. 300 species.

I am using this book extensively in teaching mycology, especially medicinally mushrooms, to university students."
