Chelsea Green Publishing Co In Search of Mycotopia: Citizen Science, Fungi Fanatics, and the Untapped Potential of Mushrooms

This was a gift, but I also read it. A really fascinating look at mushrooms.

There’s almost as much leftist political dogma in here, as there is about mushrooms. If that’s your thing I’m sure you’ll thoroughly enjoy the book, if not then not so much.

I've recently fallen into the fascinating world of mycology. It all started with Merlin Sheldrake's book, Entangled Life (a must read). This led to the Fantastic Fungi Global Summit (another must) and Radical Mycology by Peter McCoy (essential). Then on recommendation from several mycophiles I purchased Mycotopia: Citizen Science...by Doug Bierend. This book takes readers on a fun and informative trip introducing them to many of the players who are bringing the tangled web of the King/Queendom of Mycetea to our attention and imagination. Doug has a great writing style - easy to read providing a unique map to other ways of fungi investigation. This book will stay in my library (although tempting to spread the necessary knowledge of all things mycology through sharing).

This book is so wonderful! So much good reading.Also it has beautiful drawings.
