From the forageable to the bizarre, this book is an introduction to 50 of the fungi kingdom’s most interesting mushrooms.

Mushrooms have existed for millennia, but they remain elusive to most of us. Used throughout human history for food, medicine, and expanding the consciousness, fungi have shaped the planet and the past, appearing everywhere from fairy tales and health-food stores to The X-Files.

There’s an entire universe of fungi, much of which is yet to be discovered, and Mushroom Magic is here to introduce you to 50 glorious species such as the Spectacular Rustgill, the Parrot Waxcap, and the Velvet Foot.

With each beautifully illustrated mushroom, learn about a different fungi’s habitat, their uses, and their history to become a budding expert in mycology.
