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.
