Book Description
A fascinating look inside nature's fifth kingdom
Fungi are a distinct kingdom, separate from the plants and animals, bacteria and protists. They are ever-present-we inhale them with almost every breath-and without them the recycling of the Earth's nutrients would be impossible. Yet despite their ubiquitous nature, they are poorly understood. Roy Watling sheds new light on these amazing creatures, explaining why they are so unique and how they live their lives. 100 color photographs.
