Mycophilia: Revelations from the Weird World of… Tekijä: Eugenia Bone
This was a good choice for a book club as it touched slightly on a lot of different aspects of mushrooms. It definitely made me want to learn more about the biology but I got all I needed about food and mushroom foraging culture. The chapter about mushroom foragers was weirdly racist. The chapter about using mushrooms to lose weight was very eating-disorder-y. Unexpectedly I got the most out of the chapter about psychedelics, because the author was a skeptic and her experience as described was interesting but not really life-changing. That’s much more interesting to me than people who are very enthusiastic. I wish there were more diagrams of mushrooms, instead of just blurry black-and-white photographs. I did learn some fun facts and I will definitely be seeking out more books about mushrooms, but not more books about this author (who I'm sure is a very good food writer).… (lisätietoja)
½Chatty tour through mushrooms with a focus on edible mushrooms and the people who collect them. I would’ve appreciated a bit more science and a bit less about her mushroom collecting fandom/travels, though it was funny to distinguish the scientists from the “belly” fans, that is, those whose main interest was eating mushrooms.

rivkat | 14 muuta kirja-arvostelua | Mar 16, 2023 | The wonderful world of mushrooms. So much fun. Spans quite a lot of the fungus universe. The writer mentions how strange the people are in this world and then tells you all about it. I enjoyed the mix of data and anecdotes.
I've been reading single subject info books for a while (Salt! Feathers! Rust! etc). This book has lots of information on mushrooms, but feels like 50% mushroom memoir. The memoir parts are frequently interesting or funny. But I would really prefer more mushroom facts and less memoir.
