The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi: Exploring the Microscopic World in Our Forests, Homes, and Bodies by Keith Seifert
4.0
An interesting look into local and farflung fungi; it goes for a broad overview of different types, different behaviours and the benefits/problems they bring to their respective ecosystems. I learnt some interesting new facts about the drama of fungal endophytes. Definitely be prepared to to clean before you start the household chapter.
My complaint, smallish, is that several times the book brings up what seems like a very interesting fungi-related thing for a sentence (the Belgian baker starter dough library, for example), then briskly moves on to a new mycotoxin while you’re going “wait, the what?” Which can be unsatisfying.
