Summary:
"The kingdom of
fungi
has survived all five major extinction events. They sustain critical ecosystems, recycling nutrients and connecting plants across vast areas, and help to produce many staples of modern life, such as wine, chocolate, bread, detergent, and penicillin. Today, in the face of urgent ecological, societal, and spiritual crises,
fungi
are being engineered to grow meat alternatives, create new sources of medicine, produce sustainable biomaterials, and even expand
our
collective consciousness. The book is a complete introduction to this hidden kingdom. Exploring their past, present, and potential future impact in four key areas -- food, medicine, psychedelics and mental health, and environmental remediation -- this resource reveals
how
fungi
have formed the foundations of modern life. Featuring eighteen mushroom profiles, authors Michael Lim and Yun Shu contextualize each species in history and mythology, alongside their medicinal and culinary uses. Easy-to-follow for the beginner, with rich, informative texts, awe-inspiring 3D digital art, and tips on
how
to immerse yourself in the
world
of
fungi
, this is a manifesto for the future. This beautifully illustrated book is an invitation into a deeper awareness of
our
relationship with the natural
world
, each other, and ourselves."--From publisher.
