* Signed bookplate * Join Dr. Gordon Walker aka Dr. Fun Guy on talkshoplive to talk about his book, Dr. Fun Guy's Passport to Kingdom Fungi : A Scientist's Guide to the Wild and Wonderful World of Mushrooms, Molds, and More. The first section of the book is written in a comprehensive question-and-answer format. Starting with "What are fungi?," it covers everything from what mycelium is and fungi's evolution and biochemistry to how they are classified and how they impact our world today. There is also information on best foraging practices, culinary techniques, and mushroom identification skills. The second half of the book profiles various mushrooms and other fungi, from incredible edibles you can find in the wild to the dangerously toxic, medicinal, and just plain weird. Finally, Gordon covers fungal phenomena, showing the amazing breadth and diversity of the fungal kingdom.
