The more we learn about fungi, the less makes sense without them. They can change our minds, heal our bodies and even help us avoid environmental disaster; they are metabolic masters, earth-makers and key players in most of nature’s processes. In Entangled Life, Merlin Sheldrake takes us on a mind-altering journey into their spectacular world, and reveals how these extraordinary organisms transform our understanding of our planet and life itself.

I picked up this book on a whim & I’m very glad I did. It’s an incredibly interesting read written in a storylike way, with absolutely stunning photographs to accompany the writing. It arrived today & I’m half way through already, I can’t put it down!

The illustrations are good, but the text is considerably shorter than the original version.
