Nice quality made book. The book has a lot of information about mushrooms - what is edible - what is dangerous.
However with all the information and photos, I still wouldn't eat what I found on the forest floor.

Includes descriptions of species mostly Psathyrella, also Mycena, Hypholoma, Stropharia, Collybia, Naucoria, Hygrophorus, Omphalia
