Product details
- The fungi kingdom has survived all five major extinction events.
- They sustain critical ecosystems, recycling nutrients and connecting plants across vast areas, and help to produce many staples of modern life, such as wine, chocolate, bread, detergent and penicillin.
- Today, in the face of urgent ecological, societal and spiritual crises, fungi are being engineered to grow meat alternatives, create new sources of medicine, produce sustainable biomaterials, remediate the environment and even expand our collective consciousness.
- This complete introduction explores past, present and potential future impact in four key areas – food, medicine, psychedelics and mental health, and environmental remediation.
- Rich with informative texts, awe-inspiring 3D digital art and tips on how to immerse yourself in the world of fungi, this is a manifesto for the future, an invitation into a deeper awareness of our relationship with the natural world, each other, and ourselves.
- Hardback, 25 x 19 cm, 212 pages.
