Do not listen to the american who put 1 star he bought the wrong book. This is a great book written well.The book is split up into sometimes 1 or 2 page case studies explaining a brief history of that mushroom with a range of topics.Great cover and art. 4 stars because sometimes there are events or terminologies talked about in the book that aren't common knowledge and I was not aware of, that are not explained. However, perhaps that is down to my own ignorance.I love this book. Definitely worth a read. 👍

SUCH a cute book!

Leitura agradável

Boas histórias, entremeada com lendas. Informações bem interessantes, desde fungos comestíveis, aos alucinógenos e curativos.

Mantarların ilginç özellikleri hakkında çok detaylı bir eser

T. · 26 November 2024

Kitabın içeriğindeki resimlere hayran oldum, tanıtım görsellerine bakarak almıştım iyi ki o görselleri paylaşmışlar. Çok daha fazlası kitabın içinde mevcut ve mantarlar hakkında verilen bilgiler açısından da fazlasıyla doyurucu bir kitap. Benim gibi mantar- doğaseverler ve doğa meraklıları çok sevecektir.

Wonderful wood be better in hardcopy

Easy to read and full of fungi facts. The illustrations are great and dovetail nicely with the text. This would be better to read in a physical form.
