Studies of American Fungi: Mushrooms, Edible, Poisonous, etc.
Project Gutenberg (orig. Andrus & Church, 1900)
Classic illustrated mushroom monograph with period photographs — atmospheric library content and historical plates, free to bundle.
Editor's notes
DANGEROUS if read as a field guide: 1900 edibility judgments and taxonomy are unreliable (some 'edible' calls are now known poisonous). Ship only behind an explicit 'historical document — do not use for edibility decisions' gate. If using the Gutenberg files, either comply with the PG trademark license or strip PG boilerplate/trademark (the underlying text is public domain).
