I consider Paul Stamets to be an engaging speaker and a fun writer in small doses, like on social media. Unfortunately, I found this book capital-D-Dull. By the end I was reading only the introduction of each chapter and then skimming the rest for cool pictures. A good choice for farmers, foresters, pollution control experts, and other professionals looking to add mycotechnology to their work; not so good for the lay reader who just wants to learn Stuff About Fungi.

Will pick up again at some point, but was starting to get overwhelmed by my pile of to-reads. The part I did read was interesting.
This book will blow your mind!!!
I heard Paul Stamets speak a few nights ago and believe that his ideas can be truly revolutionary. Totally rad and perfect inspiration as I'm getting ready for gardening season.

A LOT of information on mushrooms from the mushroom expert. It gets a little technical at times but still a good read.

An amazing look into the kingdom of fungi. The book starts out with some wild ideas about mycelium, but backs up its claims with real science and hard experimental evidence. The whole book is peppered with large color photos which aid understanding and make the material more accessible and interesting.
Seemingly magical properties of mycelium, such as the ability to clean up oil spills, are demonstrated and explained with plenty of peer-reviewed citations.
Part informational, part practical, the book is divided into several sections: informational sections about various types of mycelium, recommendations to enhance your vegetable garden’s output, growing guides to help you start running mycelium yourself, and a gourmet/medicinal mushrooms section with field ID, nutritional/medicinal info, and growing tips for each mushroom.
This book was really inspiring and lives up to its claim that mushrooms can help save the world.
