À propos de cet audio
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “brilliant [and] entrancing” (The Guardian) journey into the hidden lives of fungi—the great connectors of the living world—and their astonishing and intimate roles in human life, with the power to heal our bodies, expand our minds, and help us address our most urgent environmental problems.
“Grand and dizzying in how thoroughly it recalibrates our understanding of the natural world.”—Ed Yong, author of An Immense World
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR—Time, BBC Science Focus, The Daily Mail, Geographical, The Times, The Telegraph, New Statesman, London Evening Standard, Science Friday
When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that supports and sustains nearly all living systems. Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel, and behave.
In the first edition of this mind-bending book, Sheldrake introduced us to this mysterious but massively diverse kingdom of life. This exquisitely designed volume, abridged from the original, features more than one hundred full-color images that bring the spectacular variety, strangeness, and beauty of fungi to life as never before.
Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They are metabolic masters, earth makers, and key players in most of life’s processes. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disaster. By examining fungi on their own terms, Sheldrake reveals how these extraordinary organisms—and our relationships with them—are changing our understanding of how life works.
Winner of the Wainwright Prize, the Royal Society Science Book Prize, and the Guild of Food Writers Award • Shortlisted for the British Book Award • Longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Sheldrake is admirably humble, knowing that there is much more to be discovered about the fungal web all around us. He has a slightly husky, convincingly precise voice, and his mental and physical involvement in his subject is brought out by his thoughtful, amused narration and allusive, often almost poetic cast of mind.”—Christina Hardyment, The Times, Audiobook of the Week
“I fell in love with this book. Merlin is a scientist with the imagination of a poet and a beautiful writer. . . . This is a book that, by virtue of the power of its writing, shifts your sense of the human. . . . It will inspire a generation to enter mycology.”—Michael Pollan (Bay Area Book Festival, 2020)
“Fungi are everywhere, and Merlin Sheldrake is an ideal guide to their mysteries. He’s passionate, deeply knowledgeable, and a wonderful writer.”—Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction

Science/Nature Magic
This book changed the way I see the world. I haven’t stopped telling anyone who will listen about fungi and this book. One of my favourite things I’ve ever listened to. The author has a very gentle, calming voice with a lovely English accent. Great to listen to and learn while out walking the dog in nature, it makes you look at everything around you differently. Love love love!

Mind altering
An extraordinarily beautiful book. The authors voice soothes and casts a spell as you listen to stories from what seems like other worlds. Recommend strongly.

Loved the epilogue
This book is so poetic. It is to be savored over multiple days, instead of at one stretch. I found myself musing on its contents at night. I was happy that he referenced Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass, which has a similar meditative feel to it. And the epilogue stands on its own as a beautiful short essay.

Fungi established ecosystems but nobody knows
Sheldrake is brilliant and passionate about fungi and it conveys beautifully in this book. I began getting interested in fungi from other podcasts but this book really opened my eyes to just how pivotal fungi were, and still are, in the health of our soils, waterways, and entire ecosystems. For such an enormous kingdom of life to historically be denounced or ignored is a travesty, given the data we have that overwhelmingly points to fungi having the role of establishing ecosystems, when plantlife was only just establishing on land, and building subterranean networks of mycelium that links plants, delivers nutrients, and ultimately encourages the forward evolution of other species. We owe immense gratitude to this misunderstood kingdom, and if you are a junior looking for a major in college, please look in to mycology. I'm certainly doing so myself!
