Books by Alan E. Bessette

This resource guide is the only color-illustrated work devoted to polypores of eastern and central North American--the first of its kind to be published since Gilbertson & Ryvarden's 1987 North American Polypores.

The first book devoted to the nearly 1,400 mushroom species found in the five-state Gulf Coast region-with more than 650 color illustrations and dichotomous identification keys that will delight foragers, cooks, and scholars alike.
