It gave me a completely new perspective! What a frankly unlikely source of inspiration and hope.

Always love a mushroom!
My knowledge begins and ends with the ones that go in a risotto so I was really intrigued to hear more, and it’s instantly clear that Sheldrake lives and breathes fungi - “I never act more like a fungus than when I’m investigating them”

This is quite an intense, sometimes feverish, book. It sways here and there across ideas and covers a lot of topics within each chapter. There are moments of stunning poetry, memoir, intriguing experiments, and very technical detail. At points, this change and fluidity between genres helped me remain engaged but at other times it felt confusing.
I particularly loved the section on queer theory for lichens: “the human binary view has made it difficult to ask questions that aren’t binary”
If you want a love letter to the fungus, this will be your jam (can you make jam from mushrooms?).
