This is an absolutely FASCINATING book about fungi. It's not challenging to read. I found myself blown away over and over again by the information in this book. 

I have in fact been forcing my friends to listen to me infodump to them every time I finished a chapter. 

I read the illustrated version of this book, which has some INCREDIBLE photos of mushrooms, mycelium, lichen, and other fungal subjects.

Wonderful book, I highly recommend checking it out.
