Mushrooms have always had a global fan club. And that fanbase continues to spread - like the windswept spores of the colossal Honey Fungus.
Mushroom Miscellany is a love letter to all things mushroom. This charmingly illustrated gift book explores the fantastical world of the mushroom - featuring profiles, fun facts, recipes, and more.
• Over 80 species of fungi glow in the dark
• The world's oldest mushroom is 810 million years old
• Bigger than a blue whale, the largest organism of any type in the world is the 2,384-acre Armillaria mushroom in Oregon
• Mushrooms are one of the world's most sustainably produced food sources, requiring minimal space, energy, and water
With imaginative names such as Witches' Butter and Jelly Ear, Chicken of the Woods and Beefsteak, mushrooms have been at the heart of medicine, folklore, cookery, and science throughout history and across cultures. Foragers, artists, scientists, healers, and chefs have been drawn to mushrooms for their implausible aesthetics, incredible healing abilities, mind-altering power, versatile flavour, and magical potential.
