The North American Guide to Common Poisonous Plants and Mushrooms - Book Review

The scariest book I have ever read. It is scarier than the works of R.L Stein or Stephen King. This is a book by Nancy J. Turner and Patrick von Aderkas. If you lack common sense or are even only slightly paranoid - DO NOT read this book. It will scare the manure out of you. That being said, this is a book every parent should own.

The North American Guide of Common Poisonous Plants and Mushrooms by Nancy J. Turner and Patrick von Aderkas With a forward by Brian Saunders, M. D. covers poisonous native plants, houseplants, garden plants and mushrooms. Each have a colour picture, descriptions & say if there are related plants poisonous or non-poisonous.

The North American Guide of Common Poisonous Plants and Mushrooms explain the parts of the plants that are poisonous and the effects that the poison has on animals and humans. While the focus of this book is not on carcinogenic and multigenic plants, if they are also poisonous they are stated to be so.

This book is being added to my personal library.

The North American Guide of Common Poisonous Plants and Mushrooms by Nancy J. Turner and Patrick von Aderkas With a forward by Brian Saunders, M.D. is NOT a bedtime reading book unless you want to have nightmares.
