WOW! Powerful and eye opening. Very enjoyable read. I love how Sheldrake (also an extremely perfect name for a mycologist) writes this book in a very digestible way.

Look, the narration doesn't do it for me.
And some of the framing annoyed me.
But it is still quite an interesting book and nice to see academics aren't so dry, that there is room for creativity and other thinking.

I had the strange experience of starting with the original edition (from the library) then getting my own copy, not realizing it was the illustrated, abridged version. They're both beautiful, and the photos in the illustrated version are stunning, but I preferred more the in-depth dive (as well as mushroom ink drawings) of the other edition.

Very interesting, a good narrative explanation of some of the history of mycology and some current and upcoming advancements that rely upon it. Fungi are fascinating and alien, and play such a major role in so many essential processes on Earth, and yet I know so little about them. It was very cool to learn more about them in a compelling narrative format, and I really enjoyed the audiobook format narrated by the author on Spotify.
