I loved this book! Such an inspiring story….highly recommended, even if you’re an amateur like me

I really enjoyed this book. The depth and breadth of information not only directly about fungi, but also about how humans are affected mentally, physically, psychologically, spiritually, and financially by fungi is phenomenal.
