A fun and educational children's colouring book that includes drawings of 44 European insects to colour and learn about. It helps kids to explore their surroundings to discover what creepy crawly beetle or beautiful butterfly is hiding in their own backyard.
The fields, woods and gardens of Britain and Europe are home to a wide range of edible mushrooms, a number of which are not simply good but truly excellent to eat. Now available for the first time in paperback, this is a practical, user-friendly guide to collecting edible wild fungi species across Britain and Europe. Covering over 70 edible mushroom and truffle species, along with over 50 poisonous species to avoid, the entries provide detailed information on size, appearance, occurrence and habitat, backed up with specially commissioned colour photography, shot in situ and in natural light. With tips on when and where to hunt for mushrooms, invaluable advice on preserving, storing and cooking them and advice on environmentally friendly collecting, this book provides all the information a mushroom forager could need.
