Description

Mushrooms have always had a global fan club. And that fanbase continues to spread – like the windswept spores of the Giant Puffball. I Heart Mushrooms is a love letter to all things mushroom.

This charmingly illustrated gift book explores the fantastical world of the mushroom – featuring profiles, fun facts, recipes, and more. Over 80 species of fungi glow in the dark The world’s oldest mushroom is 810 million years old Bigger than a blue whale, the largest organism of any type in the world is the 2,384-acre Armillaria mushroom in Oregon Mushrooms are one of the world’s most sustainably produced food sources, requiring minimal space, energy, and water With imaginative names such as Witch’s Butter and Jelly Ear, Chicken of the Woods and Hairy Earthtongue, mushrooms have been at the heart of medicine, folklore, cookery, and science throughout history and across cultures.

Foragers, artists, scientists, writers, healers, chefs, and even gamers are drawn to mushrooms for their implausible aesthetics, incredible healing abilities, mind-altering power, versatile flavour, as well as their iconic place in magic and superstition.
