Inhabiting a whole kingdom of their own, fungi can be found in every
ecosystem. They carpet the forest floor, and different types of fungi
decompose matter, feed plants, and even change animals' behaviour.
Their beautiful mushrooms come in all colours, shapes, and sizes.
Fungal stories include the greening of the Earth, when fungi helped
plants first grow on land, and the mass destruction of crops through
fungal disease. From the villains of the upcoming bananageddon to
plastic-eating eco-warriors, there are over 1.5 million known fungus
species, and a huge, unknown number of unnamed "dark" types. Some are
even found inside animals - helpful fungi break down food in animal
guts, but others take over their hosts' bodies.
This book of fabulous fungi will intrigue and amaze young readers, and
open their eyes to the fungi thriving all around them.
