(Mushrooms) David Arora. Mushrooms Demystified: A Comprehensive Guide to the Fleshy Fungi of the California Coast.

669 pp. Illus. from photographs. Jacket. First Edition. Berkeley: Ten Speed Press, [1979].

The definitive guide to coastal California mushrooms, Arora's book first appeared in 1979 and quickly became the go-to reference for Golden State foragers. The book is still considered the best one on the subject. Some foxing to fore-edges, otherwise a very good copy of the rare first edition.
