Planet of the Fungi

Mushrooms are incredible: they can be our best friends or worst enemies, and they can grow larger than any other organism on Earth. This book tells the fascinating story of mycology. It shows how fungi can destroy crops and turn ants into zombies. But it also looks to the future, where we can use fungi as raw materials for food, medicine, construction, and fuel. A hopeful outlook for humanity, which is searching for alternative, sustainable solutions in the face of population growth and climate change.
