Mushroom Magic: An illustrated introduction to fascinating fungi

Mushrooms have existed for millennia, which can make it overwhelming to dip into mycology. Used throughout human history for food, medicine, and expanding the consciousness, fungi have shaped the planet and the past, appearing everywhere from fairy tales and health-food stores to The X-Files.

There’s an entire universe of fungi, much of which is yet to be discovered. To teach you about the basics, Mushroom Magic features fifty types, including:
Ghost fungus
Spectacular rustgill
Sky-blue pinkgill
Trooping crumble cap
Pink oyster mushroom
Parrot waxcap
Jack-o’-Lantern
Wine-cap stopharia
Golden-scruffy collybia
And velvet foot

With each beautifully illustrated mushroom, learn about a different fungi’s habitat, their uses, and their history to become a budding expert in mycology.
