About this listen

In Mycophilia, accomplished food writer and cookbook author Eugenia Bone examines the role of fungi as exotic delicacy, curative, poison, and hallucinogen, and ultimately discovers that a greater understanding of fungi is key to facing many challenges of the 21st century. Engrossing, surprising, and packed with up-to-date science and cultural exploration, Mycophilia is part narrative and part primer for foodies, science buffs, environmental advocates, and anyone interested in learning a lot about one of the least understood and most curious organisms in nature.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

I absolutely loved this audio. It had just the right touch of humor and interesting science to keep me drawn in . I really liked the pace at which it was read . It was a perfect entry into mycophilia that makes me want to dive deeper into the research and discoveries to come.

With a title like Mycophilia, one could expect it to be a scientific text about fungi, specifically the revelations about mycelium, which the book dips its toes in before spending far too long belabouring the agricultural industry of fungal fruiting bodies in the USA, picking and cuisine of edible mushrooms, and various forays and workshops about mushroom picking. I understand now that Eugenia Bone is not a scientist, which is obvious in this book.

Slightly misleading
