fascinating and informative

outstanding and inspiring. amazing information. we are just beginning to understand fungi. see also Paul Staments

One of the most beautifully written books on fungi I have ever read

I have just recently finished reading this book for the first time and, while I am still processing much of the information in it, Sheldrake has found a way to teach about the already fascinating world of fungi in a style I would like to describe as biological poetry. Much like Robin Wall Kimmerer, who he mentions in the book, Sheldrake finds a way to bring nature alive in this must-read for fungus lovers and anybody else who may have interest in culinary mushrooms, psychedelic mushrooms, natural landscapes, brewing, and much much more.
