Medicinal Mushrooms – The Essential Guide

This book by Martin Powell is an excellent introduction to medicinal mushrooms.
It provides a useful summary of all the key points, uses and benefits, backed by some of the key research.
This is less in-depth and technical than Martin’s Medicinal Mushrooms: A Clinical Guide,
so makes for an easy-to-read and quick guide to the essential mushroom health facts that you need to know.
