This book is fantastic. You think you're getting a book on fungi, and you are, you really, really are, but the author has necessarily connected the world of fungi to our lives as humans, to plants (which are all but inseparable from fungi, as you will learn, yet overshadow them), and to the environment and past and future of the planet. While reading this I kept telling my family interesting facts I'd learned; I couldn't help myself. You walk away from this book with a new, more complete perspective on the natural world. As a bonus, the author has the best name. Imagine: this book on your shelf, covered in beautiful illustrations of fungi, authored by one Merlin Sheldrake. What more could you want??
