Description
Mushroom Magic explores the fascinating world of fungi, which have existed for millennia, making diving into mycology a potentially overwhelming endeavour. Throughout human history, mushrooms have been valued for food, medicine, and consciousness expansion, shaping both our planet and cultural narratives. They appear everywhere, from fairy tales and health-food shops to episodes of The X-Files.
There exists an entire universe of fungi, much of which is still waiting to be discovered. Mushroom Magic introduces you to fifty different types, including:
- Ghost fungus
- Spectacular rustgill
- Sky-blue pinkgill
- Trooping crumble cap
- Pink oyster mushroom
- Parrot waxcap
- Jack-o'-Lantern
- Wine-cap Stropharia
- Golden-scruffy collybia
- Velvet foot
Each beautifully illustrated mushroom entry provides insights into its habitat, uses, and history, helping you become a budding expert in the world of mycology.
