Fungi are not like us - they are entirely,magically,something else. Welcome to the astonishing secret world of fungi. Aliya Whiteley has always been in love with fungi - from a childhood taking blurry photographs of strange fungal eruptions on Exmoor to a career as a writer inspired by their surreal and alien beauty. This love for fungi is a love for life,from single-cell spores to the largest living organism on the planet; a story stretching from Aliya's lawn into orbit and back again via every continent. Despite their familiar presence,there's still much to learn about the eruption,growth and decay of their interconnected world. From fields,feasts and fairy rings to death caps,puffballs and ambrosia beetles,this is an intoxicating personal journey into the life of extraordinary organism,one that we have barely begun to understand.
