"Witty and highly readable... When it comes to writing about fungi, Nik Money truly is the ultimate fun guide! * Botany One * Informative and fascinating * Steve Craggs, Northern Echo * Nicholas Money's Fungi: A Very Short Introduction just brims with passion for its subject. I read once that the perfect candidate for any professional job interview is one who exudes ""cool professionalism, with sparkle"". Nicholas Money's book on Fungi is the paper version of that ideal. * The Victoria Welch Science blog *"
