We are in something of a fungal awakening. Fungi are capturing our imaginations like never before, and when we think of fungi we most commonly think of mushrooms, which include such miraculous manifestations as puffballs, jellies and corals. Fungi Decoded is a visual celebration of these diverse and astonishing forms. With an instantly engaging code-wheel set into the cover, it leads the reader through various pertinent yet playful themes, delving deep into the workings of these enigmatic organisms. Taking a new spin on the planets most fascinating and least well understood world of living things, Fungi Decoded is the perfect gift for both new fungus fans and seasoned mycophiles.
