Alpine Mushrooms of North America

Treasures Above Treeline

A singular guide to mushrooms on mountain tops

Little-known and hard to find, the tiny 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 draws on the twenty-five years of collecting and research that have made her North America’s foremost expert on alpine fungi.

Features 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
