Mushrooms are among the most mysterious and fascinating living creatures! Like animals, they can be predators, scavengers, fight off competitors, emit electrical signals, and skillfully catch nimble prey. Like plants, they grow throughout their lives, can live for thousands of years, and even pierce asphalt. They can also glow in the dark, shoot, detect air humidity, interact with plants and ants, and recycle waste!
In this book, you'll not only discover mushrooms of incredible shapes and colors, but also learn where mushrooms originated, when mushrooms grew 8 meters tall on Earth, learn to identify and describe mushrooms, recognize poisonous ones, and debunk silly and dangerous myths about mushrooms.
You'll learn:
- How to identify mushrooms by ear;
- Where spots on fly agarics come from;
- How mushrooms reproduce and spread;
- Why truffles are so expensive;
- why mushrooms are essential to nature and humans;
- which mushrooms have saved the lives of millions of people;
- how parasitic fungi control the behavior of their hosts;
- and much, much more!
And finally, you'll not only learn to easily pronounce words like chytridiomycetes, ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes, but also to distinguish them from each other!
