To ask why is to ask why fire burns. His credo may be stated thus: he has sworn an oath to keep his mushroom patches secret and to find and to poach on the patches of other hunters. When mushrooms are the prize, the scope of all his aspirations is narrowed to these two goals. Though in all else he may be as saintly as St. Francis, in the pursuit of these ends he is more Satanic than Satan. He will betray his nearest and dearest without the slightest twitch of flesh or spirit. He is amoral" - Definition of a mushroom hunter by Angelo Pellegrini In 1962 Margaret McKenny and Daniel Stuntz created the classic field guide that has been a favorite of mushroom hunters ever since. This handbook was designed to answer the amateur mycologist's two most important questions: "What is it? and "Is it good to eat?"
