Get to know the icky but important FUNGI that keep nature running!
It's time to show FUNGI some LOVE! This book is an icky, mouldy
celebration of the incredible work fungus does all day long. Fungus is
a generous food-sharer, an air-purifier, a communication network and
lots of fun, too.
Icky World takes a look at the science of the messiest parts of nature
and reminds us all to protect these icky but important bits of our
precious planet. Each book has been reviewed and endorsed by an expert
in the relevant branch of science and supports curriculum learning in
the areas of science and ecology for ages 6 and up.
In praise of Icky World: We Need FUNGUS!
"This is an excellent fun-fungi fact book to enjoy at school, with the
family or on your own! Simply explained but retaining all the
scientific accuracy. A fantastic resource to inspire the next
generation of fungi lovers."
Dr. Ester Gaya, Senior Research Leader, Comparative Fungal Biology at
Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
