Perhaps a more meaty tome for some readers this summer might be The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi: Exploring the Microscopic World in Our Forests, Homes, and Bodies, By Keith Seifert. The book is published by Greystone, and retails at $27.95, which is effectively the same in euros.
“The retired Canadian mycologist has written an accessible primer on a much-maligned category of organisms whose lives sustain our own. Without fungi, forests could not grow, agriculture would grind to a halt, carbon could not be recycled. There would quickly be no life at all.”
Could certainly be this summer’s Mushroom People reading favourite!
