Edible Wild Mushrooms of North America and Mushrooms of Northeastern North America co-authored Dave Fischer
"This is not simply another mushroom field guide... People hesitant in mycophagy [mushroom gathering and eating] will find confidence in their abilities by using this book... it should become the most popular field guide on the market---a fixture in everyone's basket." --Barry L. Wulff, Professor Emeritus of Biology, Eastern Connecticut State University
Mushrooms Of Northeastern North America co-authored by Dave Fischer
This encyclopedic new volume, including nearly 1500 species and 650 color photographs, illustrates the diversity of mycoflora throughout Northeastern North America. Professional and advanced mycologists will welcome the inclusion of microscopic features, chemical reagent data, information on classification, and author citations. The user-friendly keys and non technical language will appeal to the novice mushroom collector, as will the introductory information on fungal anatomy, collecting techniques, and mushroom cooking and preservation.
Whatever the reason for your interest in mushrooms---whether it be for scientific study, the search for edible species, or for the sheer appreciation of their beauty---this book will serve as a trustworthy and inspiring guide to mushrooms of northeastern North America.
Black Mold - Your Health and Your Home by SVMS's own Richard F. Progovitz
Approximately one hundred species of mold are toxic and about fifteen are known to cause negative health effects in humans. Symptoms of exposure to mold can include allergic reactions, asthma and chronic cold and flu-like conditions. Black Mold - Your Health and Your Home systematically demystifies the molds we encounter in our daily lives.

Fungi -- The Hidden Kingdom Utah State University Intermountain Herbarium
Fungi are not plants. Living things are organized for study into large, basic groups called kingdoms. Fungi were listed in the Plant Kingdom for many years. Then scientists learned that fungi show a closer relation to animals, but are unique and separate life forms. Now, Fungi are placed in their own Kingdom.

Home Mushroom Cultivation with Hydrogen Peroxide Two volume book
An instruction manual in two volumes based on the use of peroxide in mushroom cultivation, by R.R. Wayne, Ph.D. So why use hydrogen peroxide in mushroom growing? Hydrogen peroxide simplifies the whole process of growing fungi. There's no need to build a sterile laboratory, buy a special giant pressure cooker, or even construct a glove box. A low concentration of peroxide keeps out the contaminants, while allowing healthy growth of mushroom tissue. And as the mushroom tissue grows, it converts the peroxide to water and oxygen, leaving a clean, vigorous mushroom culture.
