Overview
Fungi are everywhere! They live in the coldest corner of Antarctica and on hot, sandy desert dunes. They're in the air you breathe and the food you eat. But fungi are more than pizza toppings. They form partnerships with plants and help us clean up our planet through bioremediation. Some fungi eat our crops; others protect them. Some fungi cause diseases; others cure them. Some are bigger than you; others are so tiny you need a microscope to see them. And now, people are finding ways to use fungi to make furniture, building materials, and even sneakers.So grab your gear and let's go find some Funky Fungi.Reviews
"For the kid (or adult) who is captivated by mushrooms, this book has it all: facts and fun! The kind of facts kids gossip about: how a fly is zombie-fied, designer shoes from mushroom materials, etc. The kinds of fun kids can dig into: Plan Your Own Fungi Fest and A Mushroom to Dye For. Fungal FUN for everyone!" —Heather Montgomery, author of What's in Your Pocket?Author Biography
