It really is just the basic starting point - the rabbit hole goes very very deep and in greater detail then I even indulge in (I don't even talk about microscopy or DNA testing!). Plus, I realized after there were some things I wish I'd changed and some thing I wished I'd added.
But, the basic premise of what the process is like is here, and it is a fun process. Lots of much more qualified books available if you want to really get in depth - and often there are mycological societies or groups in local neighborhoods as well.
I have a bunch of books already, but I think I need to take the time and go on foraging hunts with our mycological society. I feel like I learn so much more if I have someone show me (like you just did!) then trying to make sense of it from a book :)
I'm glad you found it helpful!
