Powerful Mushrooms: An Illustrated Anthology by Federico di Vita

adventurous informative inspiring medium-paced

4.0

Really interesting and quite informative, even for its 1-page per fungus format. Mixed info about where and how it grows, whether it’s poisonous and how it can be used in the kitchen. Sometimes has history facts too. 

 

The illustrations are truly wonderful and mesmerizing. However, they’re more fantastical than factual, while photographs only appear at the end and also very small. It would've been better if the photos and illustrations were on the same page or the photo icons in a corner of the info page. 

 

Otherwise a good book that would be cool to read in a café or during lunchtime at home or even restaurants.
