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

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

This was engaging and so informative! The writing style was easy to read, understand, and the author did a good job at breaking down complex ideas. There were a few times I thought some points became repetitive, but overall I enjoyed the flow and structure of the book.

ruthmoog's review against another edition

hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

I found it a bit repetitive but overall an interesting topic, about what we know vs the mystery of fungi.
The end of the book was more interesting for me, which was largely about the application of cutting edge fungal science to 'save the world '. 

The involvement of humanity with fungi is so entangled that there's something in here for everyone, if you can persist through the density of the rest.
