Softcover booklet about 6.2 x 9 inches describing common mushrooms found in woods, pastures, lawns and on trees in Illinois and the central states. Used condition with toning, staining on the covers and edge wear.
Condition: the covers have brown stains, especially along the bottom of the back cover, and the inside front cover has two round water marks. The text block is toned with some light spotting; binding intact.
The title page lists Otto Kerner as governor and Milton D. Thompson as museum director. The inside front cover lists the first thirteen titles of the Story of Illinois series. Eifert's bold linocut-style mushroom drawings on the cover make it a nice piece for foragers, mycology and Illinois natural history collectors.
