IN SEARCH OF MYCOTOPIA (CHELSEA GREEN) (PB)

Fungi are fundamental to life. As decomposers, they are critical to soils and ecosystems. As chemists, they devise and secrete enzymes that break down a vast range of materials, mitigate bacterial and viral infections, and interact with the bodies and brains of creatures that consume their mushrooms. This book introduces an incredible and oft-overlooked kingdom of life and the potential it holds for our future, by way of the weird and wonderful communities of citizen scientists and microbe devotees working on the fungal frontier.
