Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures by Merlin Sheldrake

informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

My only exposure to fungi and mushrooms before this book was mostly through the "Fantastic Fungi" documentary, and I can't remember the last time I read a "sciencey" non-fiction book, so I was a little worried this would mostly go over my head. Turns out I had absolutely nothing to worry about as not only are fungi extremely more fascinating than I knew, but Sheldrake has SUCH a way with words!! Certain parts really felt like he was simply describing an alien landscape from a scifi novel, instead of algae. 

I 10000000000000% recommend everyone to read this book, even if you're not a fungi freak™!!! It is endlessly fascinating and I kinda wish I had the physical thing to leaf through WHILE I was listening to it in audiobook form - apparently there are pictures too!! That said, Merlin Sheldrake narrates the audiobook himself and you're not really losing anything choosing one over the other.

READ THIS DAMN BOOK.
