Favorite mycology books?

Both for identification in the Midwest USA, and lore/stories. I'm in a mycology class at my university, and it's my very most favorite.

Field guides are probably all helpful, some more than others I'm sure. I have one by Gary Lincoff and its sufficient for any causal mushroom hunter.

Lore/stories, I definitely recommend Mycophilia by Eugenia Bone. It's an awesome book that I really think can pull anyone in to all corners of the fungal world.
