I love mushrooms and love Mexican Gothic so I was interested in this collection coedited by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. My absolute favorites were "Hyphae", "The Pilgrims of Parthen", "Where Dead Men Go To Dream", "Gamma", and "Cordyceps Zombii."
"Hyphae" and "The Pilgrims of Parthen" were creepy. I loved the setting of "Where Dead Men Go To Dream". "Gamma" was creepy and emotional. And "Cordyceps Zombii" was an amazing poem.
My 4-4.5 star rated stories were "Last Bloom on the Stage", "Corpse Mouth and Spore Nose", "Our Stories Will Live Forever", "Dust From A Dark Flower", and "The Shaft Through the Middle of It All."
The rest of the stories were either ok or not to my taste, but they were all pretty interesting. Overall I liked the different weird ways fungi were presented in this anthology.
