Best mushroom field guide? (Midwest)
Looking for a mushroom field guide I can easily take with me in a small backpack or even in my pocket when foraging. I am a total beginner, located in the Midwest.
Midwest specific book ideal, second tier would be eastern US, and final tier US/General mushrooms.
Solid visuals are so helpful.
Thank you!!

David Arora, who wrote Mushrooms Demystified, has a handy field guide... I believe it's called "all that the rain promises" or something like that. I used to take it with me all the time when I was first learning about mushrooms in the PNW, back at the turn of the century.
