The overnight appearance of mushrooms in a meadow or on a suburban lawn is a        marvelous sight. It is one of many awe-inspiring, magical processes that have        evolved among the fungi, yet this group remains the least studied and most poorly        understood kingdom of organisms. In Mushroom, Nicholas Money offers a vibrant        introduction to the world of mushrooms, investigating the science behind these        organisms as well as their enduring cultural and imaginative appeal. Beginning with        the basics of mushroom biology, Money leads us through a history of mushroom        research, painting portraits of the colorful characters involved in their        study--among them, Beatrix Potter, the celebrated author and creator of Peter        Rabbit, and Captain Charles McIlvaine, a Civil War veteran who engaged in a        dangerous quest to determine the edibility of every mushroom in North America. Money        also discusses the uses of mushrooms today, exploring their importance as food and        medicine, their use as recreational drugs, and as the cause of horrific poisonings.          A cultural, natural, and scientific history in one, Mushroom is a must-read for        mycophiles, mushroom gatherers, and nature lovers alike.
