I have a lot and fascination with fungi, so of course had to get this book. It is more sense than I expected, not beginners level. But the whole topic is fascinating.
Thank you NetGally and RB Media for this advanced readers Audiobook. I have recently become enamored with all things mushroom, and this book was just the thing to feed that fascination. Nicholas Money narrates his own book detailing a lifelong relationship with all things fungi. With personal antidotes leading into science-backed information, the book gives the feel of a good chat with a knowledgeable friend. While a bit of background on the basics of the human body would smooth over the heavier scientific portions of the book, it is an introduction to anyone who wants to know more about how the world's densest species has evolved alongside us humans.
Thank you, NetGalley and RB Media for this advanced readers Audiobook. This was a fascinating study into molds and fungi and how they have evolved and adapted over time. As this book has described, some bacteria and fungi are good for us and help us, such as our microbiome. And there are others like candida Auris that has grown and evolved to cause outbreaks in long term care facilities and such and create multi drug resistant infections. This book was an interesting introduction into where some of these molds and fungi come from and how they can help or harm us.

If you want to learn about mushrooms and fungi then this book is for you. I will say some understanding of human biology would be helpful as some of the information is a bit dense. That being said it is a well rounded overview of mushrooms and their many, many interactions with the living world. The narration was good and easy to listen to.
