I loved how the author included non-western specific history and cultural relevancy of mushrooms, and the illustrations in this book were gorgeous. The intentions and spells in the last sections of the books were interesting and meaningful. A good read for any mushroom enthusiast or witch in your circle. 4.5 Stars

This was informative and well-paced and the information was paired beautifully with the detailed illustrations. I'd love to read more of Kane's work!

A whimsical and fascinating delight of a book.
This book is a wonderful mix of scientific fact, history, mystery and magic. The title and cover enticed me to open it, the content had me hooked on reading it. It's beautifully illustrated, a book you could enjoy by looking at the pictures alone but you would be missing out on the science, history and mythology that makes this book stunning to both read and look at.
The descriptions of edibility made me smile with their range from inedible to 'unknown but highly unlikely' to 'highly sought'.

There are repeated cautions not to eat wild mushrooms without being absolutely certain you know what they are. And requests to be respectful and sustainable when foraging. Many mushrooms are endangered and protected so be aware of what you are doing before picking anything in the wild.

Overall I loved this book and would happily dip into it time and time again

I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book but did not receive any inducement to provide a positive review

ARC NETGALLEY REVIEW

Absolutely loved this book, it was everything I want in a mushroom book and more. The graphic were clear and so authentic to the book. As I study mushroom this book will be a must have on my adventures and throughout my learning journey that I will reference back to,

First of all, THIS BOOK IS WHIMSICALLY GORGEOUS!! I am keen on the art, eye-pleasing indeed. Not only that, this book enlightened me about Mushrooms A LOT. It is a must read!

A beautifully illustrated and informative book on Mushrooms including history and it's links to events and folklore of history past, some super interesting facts I didn't know about like the links mushrooms had to witchcraft and witch-hunts. Definitely a book I will be wanting to revisit and re-digest over and over, if not just for the beautiful illustrations that come with the book.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Quarto for providing me with an ARC at my request.
