Mushrooms have always had a global fan club. And that fanbase continues to spread—like the windswept spores of the Giant Puffball. I Heart Mushrooms is a love letter to all things mushroom. This charmingly illustrated gift book explores the fantastical world of the mushroom—featuring profiles, fun facts, recipes, and more. With imaginative names such as Witch's Butter and Jelly Ear, Chicken of the Woods and Hairy Earthtongue, mushrooms have been at the heart of medicine, folklore, cookery, and science throughout history and across cultures. Foragers, artists, scientists, writers, healers, chefs, and even gamers are drawn to mushrooms for their implausible aesthetics, incredible healing abilities, mind-altering power, versatile flavour, as well as their iconic place in magic and superstition.
