Very easy to follow along and fun to read! Learn different classifications and how to do so yourself

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an ARC of this title. I'm not sure what it is about mushrooms that I love to much, but when I see books like this I can't help but be fascinated by them more and more. The illustrations in this book are fantastic, but I also loved that there were real photographs as well. I don't think I've seen a book that showcased both of those. I also really enjoyed the small diagrams. This guide had it all. From fundamental information about mushrooms themselves, to foraging and eating them, and the responsibility that we have toward them and nature. I do believe that we need mushrooms almost, if not as much, as we need the bees. For mushroom and nature lovers alike, this is a good one to keep on your shelf! Guides like this have always drawn my attention, and I will definitely be recommending this book for purchase at my shop.

James' rating: 5 out of 5 illuminating stars! ✨

My love for science started in 6th grade when the subject expanded into a deeper look into the life around us. I have always loved the flora and the Kingdom Fungi has been a source of fascination and intrigue for me which prompted me to read this book when I came across it.

This is a very well rounded book (I can't emphasize how true this is!) which starts from the very basics of the fungal kingdom and also takes a comprehensive role in guiding you through the fascinating world of fungi. The pictures and illustrations are quite detailed and honestly, very beautiful. I loved every moment of reading this book.

I was especially intrigued by the mention of mycobiome which is one of the things I'm looking into irl. We also look into the fungal ecosystem, their biodiversity and their phenomena which were quite enlightening and were really fun to read. The foraging information was quite detailed, which I loved and the individual look into the toxicity of mushrooms were also quite fascinating to read. The author did such a great job in covering every single aspect of Kingdom Fungi.

Fungi are such an intricate part of our lives and I personally think they're quite understated. They're just so... cool! I would absolutely recommend this book to all fungi lovers and really just anyone who is curious about the Kingdom of Fungi. You'll love it! The book is available for pre-order now!

Thank you @fascinatedbyfungi and @tenspeedpress for a fun and informative ARC!

QOTD: Do you find mushrooms around you? What's your favorite way to eat mushrooms or a dish you love? (Yes, you can mention your favorite bread or cake lol.)

P. S. - I was wondering why the author's name sounded familiar... He shares his name with a character from Supernatural lol.

Any Mushroom Enthusiast will admire this well-thought-out, informative, and enlightening guide to the wonderful World of the Fungi Kingdom. "Dr. Fun Guy" is both expert and enthusiastic, articulate in delivering information, and accompanies the enjoyable text with clear photographs identifying the various species of Mushrooms [so escape the toxic, enjoy the edible!].
