RaveNature\"What sets this book apart from previous
celebrations of the fungi, of which there
have been several, is that the author really
tries to imagine what it is like to be a fungus. His rich text evokes an understanding of what it would actually be like to be a filamentous microbe, forming interwoven networks that permeate, invade and feed upon the substrates that surround them. Sheldrake works hard to shake off the anthropomorphic viewpoint and see things from a microbial perspective ... Throughout the whole book, Sheldrake
describes complex fungal biology with
great clarity ... we are taken on a quite magical tour of all things fungal, with due respect given to the mind-altering qualities of psilocybin and alcohol ... accessible and fun[.]\
