Description
Fungi are a whole kingdom of their own, inhabiting every ecosystem. They can be found carpeting the forest floor, decomposing matter, feeding plants, and even changing animals' behaviour. The beautiful mushrooms that grow from them come in all colours, shapes, and sizes. Fungi have played a significant role in the history of our planet. They helped plants first grow on land, and have also been responsible for the greening of the Earth. On the other hand, some fungi have caused mass destruction by infecting crops and causing disease. There are over 1.5 million known fungus species, and a huge, unknown number of unnamed "dark" types. This book introduces the science of fungi through engaging topics and thoughtful layouts, with wonderfully detailed illustrations and photographs of fungal species. It's a great way to learn about the fascinating world of fungi and discover the many different types that thrive all around us.
