Thank you, I will look to include most of these. As for mushrooms, I intentionally left that out (with a note not to eat them) as it is too easy to mess that up while in a survival situation.

I appreciate the offer - I've got a full shelf of survival books already, and can't fit any more :D

That checks out :) (no library pun intended)

The offer will always be there, if you would rather digital copies! The mushroom book I have does a fantastic job in my opinion for making sure you can differentiate between similar looking mushrooms. It may be worth including some very easy mushrooms, such as the really big puffy ones that I forgot the name of.
