The source I will examine is my field guide to wild North American mushrooms.
Miller O. K., & Miller H. H. (2006) A Falcon Guide: North American Mushrooms – A Field Guide to Edible and Inedible Fungi. Kearney, NE: Morris Book Publishing LLC.
It is classified as “peer- reviewed academic review material.”

b) in-text citations are present
c) a bibliography is present
d) the publication was reviewed by at least one referee, including Dr. Cathy Cripps, Dr. Walter Sundberg, Dr. Steve Stephenson and Marilyn Shaw
e) there is no field or lab study present, meaning this is review material
