Arora's "Mushrooms Demystified' is indeed a terrific book, and a great gift for someone who is interested in mushrooms. My copy is well thumbed. But it's a bit too big to be a field guide, and maybe a bit "heavy" if your brother is not a committed mycophile. You might like to take a look at "All that the rain promises, and more", which is also by David Arora. It's lighter to carry, easier to read for a novice, and really very fun.
