I don’t think I’m entirely smart enough for this book. But I, for one, welcome our fungi overlords.

An enchanting overview of (and an excellent introduction to) mycology, both current and historical. Sheldrake writes with infectious enthusiasm. The concepts outlined in this book will challenge your worldview and grow your appreciation of the complexities of ecology.

really good, really interesting
can tell the author is an expert because he explains so well and draws from a variety of examples
enjoyed!!
would also recommend The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee because it’s so similar in writing style and approach

This is sort of a combination memoir/scientific review about fungi and the ways they relate to other organisms. I found it really interesting but it does ramble in places and a few of the people quoted are kind of questionable to me. Overall recommend it if you're interested in pop-science books though.
