### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Beginners.
*by C***S on August 14, 2023*

I was getting frustrated listening to all of the conflicting suggestions on social media. This book answered most of my questions. It is a very easy read with nice illustrations. I highly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for beginners, good alternative ideas, easy to read
*by A***R on January 8, 2018*

This book is easy to read & understand. Most of the recipes & instructions are good, but some of them don't quite work like he says they will. I do think it is still a great book for beginners b/c it gives ideas of alternative grains & substrates that are easier to find & cheaper than some of the traditional ones. He also gives instructions for people who are just starting out & can't afford all the expensive equipment, like he tells how to make a glove box to use for a sterile environment for innoculation instead of an expensive flow hood. I refer to this book a lot while experimenting w/ growing mushrooms.
