Description
Book SynopsisAlthough relatively little known, fungi provide the links between the various organisms and ecosystems that underpin our functioning planet. This book presents fungi through multiple perspectives, and explores how a history of entrenched fears and misconceptions about fungi has led to their near absence in Australian ecological consciousness.
Trade Review"Photo essays comprising stunning macrophotography of fungi appear between substantive chapters. Pouliot’s use of a very shallow depth of field in most of the photographs evokes a sense of mystery, appropriate for a kingdom that remains poorly known to science, especially in Australia... The skilful use of stories and images does not merely embellish or enliven the text, but evokes a deeper, emotional understanding, making it a book both engrossing and motivating." -- Andrea Gaynor * Australian Book Review, October 2018 *
