Chanterelle Dreams and Amanita Nightmares
Of the two, Mycophilia: Revelations from the Weird World of Mushrooms is the more readable and interesting for a general audience. CDAN was very enjoyable as a cross between a field guide and narrative, though. It's divided into chapters generally about specific fungi, but instead of a very brief field-guide description, there's a longer discussion of the mushroom's properties, history, identification, and so on. If and when I take up mushroom hunting and growing, I'll absolutely buy a copy to keep as a reference.
