Mushrooms, Molds, and Miracles

By Lucy Kavaler

Book Overview

"This superb book does for fungi what Audubon did for birds and Freud for the psyche," wrote the New Haven Register. Time Magazine called it "Fascinating" in a lead review. The little-known kingdom of fungi is revealed as never before or since-from the potato blight to the hallucinogenic mushroom, the bread mold that produced penicillin and the prized truffle. Mushrooms, Molds, and Miracles proves that a book about fungi can be compulsively readable. Sales soared the moment it reached the bookstores, and it has become a classic. Hard to put down, it is exciting from beginning to end.
