What it is
A widely praised, science-grounded tour of the fungal kingdom by biologist Merlin Sheldrake, who holds a PhD in tropical ecology from Cambridge. The book explores mycelial networks, lichens, mycorrhizal relationships with plants, and the role fungi play across ecosystems, arguing they complicate tidy notions of individuality and intelligence. It won the 2021 Royal Society Science Book Prize and a Wainwright Prize. For a mushroom-focused knowledge base it lends broad biological credibility; its coverage is general mycology rather than psilocybin therapeutics specifically.
