Description: An illustrated mini-encyclopedia of fungal lore, from John Cage and Terrence McKenna to mushroom sex and fairy rings. With more than 180 entries, this collection will transport both general readers and specialists into the remarkable universe of fungi.

Review Quotes: "Fungipedia is a whimsical peek into the obscure world of fungi. The book is as much for general readers as it is for experts in fungi. With its easy-to-read snippets, Fungipedia inspires the general public to find out more about fungi, beyond the knowledge that mushrooms taste good with butter and garlic. On the other hand, experts will appreciate the life-like depictions and illustrations of their favourite fungal subjects. It is a must-read for all."---Daphne Ng, AC Review of Books
