Mushrooms Molds and Miracles

This superb book does for fungi what Audubon did for birds and Freud for the psyche wrote the <i>New Haven Register</i>. <i>Time Magazine</i> called it Fascinating in a lead review. The little-known kingdom of fungi is revealed as never before or since-from the potato blight to the hallucinogenic mushroom the bread mold that produced penicillin and the prized truffle. <i>Mushrooms Molds and Miracles</i> proves that a book about fungi can be compulsively readable. Sales soared the moment it reached the bookstores and it has become a classic. Hard to put down it is exciting from beginning to end.</p>
