Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A fascinating look inside nature's fifth kingdom

Fungi are a distinct kingdom, separate from the plants and animals, bacteria and protists. They are ever-present—we inhale them with almost every breath—and without them the recycling of the Earth's nutrients would be impossible. Yet despite their ubiquitous nature, they are poorly understood. Roy Watling sheds new light on these amazing creatures, explaining why they are so unique and how they live their lives. 100 color photographs.

About the Author
Roy Watling is an eminent British mycologist at the Royal Botanical Garden, Edinburgh.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good basic introduction to fungi/mushrooms, December 15, 2006
This is a nice basic book that discusses fungi in general. Actually the title could still be called Mushrooms because if you are looking for scientific information on fungi there is not alot here. In fact many things are discussed generally. The writing style is too mature for young children (big words) but not scientific enough for those looking to do research or their own growing. And there is not enough information here to use this as an identification guide. Still, this book would be good for a brief introduction to fungi or as a gift for an older child interested in science.
