excellent book for identifying and learning about oregon's fungi. small enough to take on a hike.a guide to notable portland trees, organized by neighborhood. go on a walk and see how the trees have changed since the first edition came out. my favorite tree guide, period. fantastic for identification and nice to just flip through as well.
