About Jacob Kalichman Books
Jacob Kalichman is a field mycologist from California and Tennessee. In 2010, while studying logic at Stanford University, he became devoted as an amateur to wild mushroom identification and photography. With an ongoing interest in identifying gilled mushrooms in difficult genera, he has also taken up sharing updates in mycological taxonomy.
