Finding an old FAO Technical Paper/Book

Plants Underutilized Plants
#1

There is an old book that looks to be out of print that I cannot find anywhere to purchase or access digitally. I see that ECHO has it in their library but will not be in the area for a while. It looks like others have had difficulty finding it as well Growing Mushrooms in the Tropics (fungi forum at permies)

Technical guidelines for mushroom growing in the tropics FAO

I’ll look for this, Tyler.

I’d like to add it to the collection.

Tyler-

Here are some world libraries that offer it checked out online from what I can see:

  1. Technical guidelines for mushroom growing in the tropics / T.H. Quimio, S.T. Chang and D.J. Royse - Catalogue | National Library of Australia

  2. Technical guidelines for mushroom growing in the tropics - Ghent University Library

  3. Details for: Technical guidelines for mushroom growing in the tropics › Wayamba University of Sri Lanka catalog

  4. Specialty Mushrooms — About the Department — Department of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology

I included the last reference. It’s research conducted at PSU, with Chang cited among others who might be able to aid in your research until you return to ECHO to review the book. The link provides a way to reach out to the individual at PSU who authored it.

Hopefully, this helps.

Searching for a digital copy of the work you reference has not yielded a result yet, but I have found two other FAO publications which may be useful to you.
