“Brilliant. Everything that Merlin didn’t tell you...” – David Satori, Rewilding Mycology “A magical, enlightening exploration – much like the mysterious fungi themselves.” – Bruce Parry, filmmaker and author of Tribe "A truly beautiful piece of art" – Sebastián Enriquez, Revolución Fungi “A beautifully crafted network of fungal threads. This book is a generous and imaginative invitation into the world of fungi, not just as organisms, but as cultural, historical, and creative forces. Full of insight, practical activities, and playful curiosity, which encourages engagement with mycology as a living, evolving relationship. A genuinely inspiring read.” – Rich Wright, Senior Conservation Officer (Fungi) at Plant Life “This is a great book. I love the vibe; it's playful and easy to read. Gonna help a lot of younguns learn about the culture.” – William Padilla-Brown, Multidisciplinary Citizen Scientist and Founder and CEO of MycoSymbiotics “A profoundly insightful and personal overview of the fungal kingdom, and how it has myceliated Human civilization. It's visually stunning, thought provoking, factual, packed with humor and quirky recipes which make this book unlike any other on this topic.” – Marc Violo, Founder and CEO of MycoStories “An absolutely superb foray into Kingdom Fungi!” – Lawrence Millman, author of Fungipedia “A fabulously insightful journey through the vast kingdom of fungi.” – Jem Purry, Student and Young Mycologist of the Year 2025 "Aspiring mycophiles are going to have their minds blown on nearly every page, but even veteran funginauts will have to put the book down from time to time to look up into empty space and just sit in the wonder of what they’ve just read." – Jasper Degenaars, Hyphae Headmaster of Fungi Academy “The infectious enthusiasm and love for fungi splashes from each page. This is the type of fungal contamination to embrace!” – Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez, curator and researcher on art and ecology, and author of Let’s Become Fungal!
