Rezensionen

This was a good choice for a book club as it touched slightly on a lot of different aspects of mushrooms. It definitely made me want to learn more about the biology but I got all I needed about food and mushroom foraging culture. The chapter about mushroom foragers was weirdly racist. The chapter about using mushrooms to lose weight was very eating-disorder-y. Unexpectedly I got the most out of the chapter about psychedelics, because the author was a skeptic and her experience as described was interesting but not really life-changing. That’s much more interesting to me than people who are very enthusiastic. I wish there were more diagrams of mushrooms, instead of just blurry black-and-white photographs. I did learn some fun facts and I will definitely be seeking out more books about mushrooms, but not more books about this author (who I'm sure is a very good food writer).… (mehr)

Chatty tour through mushrooms with a focus on edible mushrooms and the people who collect them. I would’ve appreciated a bit more science and a bit less about her mushroom collecting fandom/travels, though it was funny to distinguish the scientists from the “belly” fans, that is, those whose main interest was eating mushrooms.

The wonderful world of mushrooms. So much fun. Spans quite a lot of the fungus universe. The writer mentions how strange the people are in this world and then tells you all about it. I enjoyed the mix of data and anecdotes.

I've been reading single subject info books for a while (Salt! Feathers! Rust! etc). This book has lots of information on mushrooms, but feels like 50% mushroom memoir. The memoir parts are frequently interesting or funny. But I would really prefer more mushroom facts and less memoir.
