Murderers’ potions, symbols of prosperity, aphrodisiacs, and fairy furniture—mushrooms have captivated human imagination in countless ways. Discover the enchanting world of mushrooms in Fungi Lore by Sally Coulthard, the author of Floriography and Bird Lore. This beautifully illustrated book delves into the magic, mythology, and mystery of fungi, revealing their profound influence on human history and culture.
From the iconic Fly Agaric, with its fairy tale allure, to the grotesque Stinkhorn, emerging like a pungent spear, Sally Coulthard explores 50 of the world's most curious and mystical mushrooms. Learn about the Tippler’s Bane, a mushroom that turns an innocent drink into a lethal potion, and uncover how fungi have inspired medicine, magic, storytelling, and ancient customs.
Fungi Lore is more than a guide to well-known mushrooms; it's a journey through the hidden magic of one of nature’s most mysterious organisms. Perfect for nature enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone captivated by the wonders of the natural world.
