Little-known and hard to find, the mushrooms that grow above the treeline offer mycophiles rare opportunities - but also index the advance of global climate change. Cathy L. Cripps's comprehensive nature guide Alpine Mushrooms of North America draws on the twenty-five years of collecting and research that have made her North America's foremost expert on alpine fungi.

Features of Alpine Mushrooms of North America include:

More than 200 color photographs
Small size perfect for use in the field
In-depth scientific information on 150 species, including some recently discovered and most not found outside alpine or Arctic habitats
Division of species into ecological groups to aid with searching and identification
Coverage of the Rocky Mountains of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado, with extensions into
British Columbia and Alaska, with many of the same mushrooms also found in the Arctic
Tips on collecting for both professional researchers and amateur enthusiasts
A conservation-based approach aimed at the general public, mycologists, researchers, naturalists, land managers, and others
Easy to use and charged with cutting-edge science, Alpine Mushrooms of North America is an expert guide to mycology's final frontier.
