Review: Fantastic Fungi: How Mushrooms Can Heal, Shift Consciousness, and Save the Planet
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A beautiful companion to the lauded documentary about Paul Stamets' life's work researching fungi, mycelial networks, and the effects of fungi on human health and psychoactivity. With distractingly beautiful photography, this book reiterates in written form all of the amazing facts about fungi and their vital importance to our planet as described in the film. I cannot recommend the book and film highly enough.
Stamets' earlier books, more technical and specialized, are a natural followup for those looking to further their study of gourmet, medicinal and psychoactive mushrooms, along with the immense potential of mycelial growth for mycoremediation, mycofiltration, mycoforestry and even pest control through mycopesticides for organic farming.
