I’m not sure if the title was just wrong/misleading or if the author didn’t have a good grasp on the scope of his project, but this was a disappointing read. I found it very repetitive and basically learned that no one knows much about fungi - even mycologists. I wish the author had combined some repetitive chapters and added a chapter on what they do know about fungi ecology (such as types/number of species, growing habits, ranges, current research applications, etc.).
