Vida de los hongos

The wonders of fungi are countless: a mushroom sprouting from the leaf litter overnight (literally), or the sensational umami flavor of truffle shavings. Alexander Fleming cured mold infections, and spiritual guides use psychedelic mushrooms to deepen their understanding of the world. Furthermore, the tiny filaments of fungi, called hyphae, create a communication network for the natural world as they decompose organic matter. By combining engaging and accessible text with spectacular images, this book offers all the essential facts about fungi for those curious about mycology.
