Excellent read!
Sheldrake takes us on a marvelous journey with him on the quest to understanding fungi. Through this, he finds appreciation for the tremendous impact these uncredited simple beings have on the evolution of life itself. He introduces us to the beauty of symbiotic relationships in nature also highlights the collaborative efforts in the evolutionary tale, as opposed to the popularly regarded idea of competition.
Merlin Sheldrake, I think, has done a fantastic job authoring this book. A scientifically dense book presented in a smooth narrative that's engaging right from the start. Him, reading his own words through the audiobook, in itself, makes the experience captivating as his passion for the subject is accentuated with his voice and is honest. The book made me think of the world differently. And I, now, have a newfound appreciation of the entangled and interdependent life on this planet. And that is a testament to a great book. The book left me with a lasting impression and a curious eye.
With the philosophical gradient in this book, I'd recommend this book to just about anybody looking for a good read. But especially to amateur mycologists to get an overview of the fungal and microbial world and the latest research advancements in the scientific community around the world in the field.

Now I know Fungi a bit
Fungi was a totally new topic for me about which I knew close to nothing. The author has done a real superb job of making the topic easy and fun to understand even for a layman.

incredible book, and wonderfully narrated
this is the kind of book that inspires wonder in its listeners, and fills you with a sense of possibility and excitement about the subject. the narration felt like a friend telling you a really fascinating, mesmerizing story! I loved how Merlin would speak of his personal anecdotes and also connect them to the world at large, and it's clear he loves fungi and wants everyone to understand more about them. I didn't listen to this entire book in one go, but each time I did, it made me look back at the natural world with more awe and more wonder than before.
