name:
Meetings with Remarkable Mushrooms: Forays with Fungi across Hemispheres,
review:
A book about mushrooms, with pics, and lots of details about history? Yes, please - picked this up straight away and was not disappointed. Expectations were low - a cautious approach to see whether this would be a repeat of what I know or something truly new and interesting. There are lots of nice details and a bit of history, including the role of women in mushroom foraging and forming the early knowledge about fungi. But the book is otherwise too sparse on details - I would have been happy with twice the length. Also, the pics are not that central - a couple of center shots in between chapters and most of them in low quality monochrome printing. I was expecting pictures spread around the text.,
