Although relatively little known, fungi provide the links between
the various organisms and ecosystems that underpin our functioning
planet. The Allure of Fungi presents fungi through multiple
perspectives - those of mycologists and ecologists, foragers and
forayers, naturalists and farmers, aesthetes and artists,
philosophers and Traditional Owners. It explores how a history of
entrenched fears and misconceptions about fungi has led to their
near absence in Australian ecological consciousness and
biodiversity conservation. Through the combination of engaging text
and stunning photography, the author reflects on how aesthetic,
sensate experience deepened by scientific knowledge offers the best
chance for understanding fungi, the forest and human interactions
with them. FEATURES: An interdisciplinary exploration of fungi,
their role in nature and relationships with different cultures
Engaging personal anecdotes take readers on a journey of discovery
into the world of fungi and fungus enthusiasts Evocative text and
stunning macrophotography are combined in an amalgam of history,
science and art.
