Mycology, fungi (non-medical); Trees, wildflowers & plants

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.
