Learn the basics of fungal biology, foraging, and identification in this in-depth illustrated introduction from the beloved scientist, mushroom enthusiast, and social media star behind Fascinated By Fungi. In Dr. Fun Guy's Passport to Kingdom Fungi, biochemist and lifelong mushroom afficionado Dr. Gordon Walker brings his scientific knowledge and love for everything fungi to the page. The first section of the book is written in a comprehensive question-and-answer format. Starting with "What are fungi?," it covers everything from what mycelium is and fungi's evolution and biochemistry to how they are classified and how they impact our world today. There is also information on best foraging practices, culinary techniques, and mushroom identification skills. The second half of the book profiles various mushrooms and other fungi, from incredible edibles you can find in the wild to the dangerously toxic, medicinal, and just plain weird. Finally, Gordon covers fungal phenomena, showing the amazing breadth and diversity of the fungal kingdom. Featuring colorful and comprehensive science illustrations, mushroom photography, and QR codes linking to resources to help you continue your fungal explorations, this is the perfect portal to step through into the world of mushrooms.
