Mushrooms: A Guide for the Curious is a compact, beautifully illustrated hardback by trained biologist and wellness writer Susan E. Clark, designed to help you understand fungi and spot them in the wild with confidence.
The first half is packed with fascinating facts, from where mushrooms like to grow and how to forage responsibly, to the remarkable ways fungi support ecosystems and have been used through history. The second half features 30 mushroom species, each with a detailed colour illustration and clear notes on identification, when they are active and where you are most likely to find them.
