Reference, not advice
This site is a seasonal nature reference offered in good faith. Timing varies year to year with weather and local conditions, and nothing here is a safety, edibility, or medical claim. Verify current conditions before planning activities, and never eat or use a wild plant or mushroom based on this site.
Purchases
Checkout is handled by Stripe, which acts as the merchant of record for guide purchases: Stripe is the seller on the transaction, handles the payment, and takes care of any sales tax. Stripe may therefore be the name that appears on your card statement. We never see or store your card number — we receive only the fact of a completed payment, your email address, and which product it was.
Tax. Prices on this site are shown before tax. Where the law requires it, sales tax for your location is calculated and added at checkout, so the total you pay may be a little more than the listed price. You will see the exact amount before you pay.
Guides are digital downloads. After payment you get a download link immediately, and that link stays open for 72 hours so you can move the file to the device you actually want it on. Lost it? Ask for it again with the email you paid with.
Refunds
Thirty days, full refund, no reason needed. Email us from the address you bought with and say the word; we refund through Stripe and you keep the file — asking for a digital download back is theatre. If a guide is simply not what you expected, that is a good enough reason, and we would rather know.
What you may do with a guide
Print it as often as you like, for yourself, your family, or a class you teach. Do not resell it, and do not post the file for public download. The underlying data is public; our compilation, writing, and layout are not.
