Mushrooms

As the world becomes more uncertain and life more stressful, getting outside and connecting with nature is an easy and affordable way to boost our mental and physical health.

In Mushrooms, trained biologist and wellness writer Susan E. Clark introduces the curious reader to the wonderful world of mushrooms. In the first part of the book, you will learn fascinating mushroom facts, from their favourite habitats and how to forage them, to their incredible medicinal powers.

The second part features 30 species of mushrooms, each with a detailed illustration to help identify them, as well as when they are active and where to spot them. There are countless opportunities to experience nature on our doorstep, and Mushrooms will encourage you to do just that.
