Whiteley Aliya - The Secret Life Of Fungi Discoveries From A Hidden World - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Fungi are unlike any other living thing they almost magically unique. Welcome to this astonishing world Fungi can appear anywhere from desert dunes to frozen tundra. They can invade our bodies and live between our toes or our floorboards. They are unwelcome intruders or vastly expensive treats and symbols of both death and eternal life. But despite their familiar presence there's still much to learn about the eruption growth and decay of their secret interconnected world. Aliya Whiteley has always been in love with fungi from her childhood taking blurry photographs of strange fungal eruptions on Exmoor to a career as a writer inspired by their surreal and alien beauty. This love for fungi is a love for life from single - cell spores to the largest living organism on the planet; a story stretching from Aliya's lawn into orbit and back again via every continent. From fields feasts and fairy rings to death caps puffballs and ambrosia beetles this is an intoxicating journey into the life of an extraordinary organism one that we have barely begun to understand.
