Step into the forest and discover the magic of fungi in this enchanting encyclopedia, packed with vibrant illustrations and easy-to-understand facts!
Beneath the leaves, on tree trunks and even in your own garden, fungi are quietly working their wonders. From glowing toadstools and fluffy puffballs to delicious truffles and rainbow-bright slime moulds, the Encyclopedia of Fungi introduces you to over 300 fungi from around the world, exploring the fascinating hidden kingdom right under our feet.
Organised into clear sections, with handy tips, a glossary and an index to help with exploring, this book is designed for dipping in and out – whether on a family walk in the woods, curled up at storytime, or as a go-to guide for budding young naturalists.
Children will love spotting their favourites, learning about each species and discovering which mushrooms form fairy rings, which help trees talk to each other and which ones are just too weird to believe!
Both a joyful reference and a beautiful keepsake, the Encyclopedia of Fungi invites children and grown-ups alike to celebrate the small but mighty organisms that make our world so extraordinary.
