Meetings with remarkable mushrooms : forays with fungi across hemispheres
by Alison Pouliot
"Meetings with remarkable mushrooms are an all-year event for Australian ecologist Alison Pouliot. Bifurcating her life between the northern and southern hemispheres, she ensures that she experiences two autumns per year and has double the chances to find fungi. In this book, she uses visits around the world to show readers the diversity of this life--and makes the case that appreciating fungi is a key to understanding the power and fragility of our planet. With Pouliot as our guide, we learn that fire-loving truffles in the genus Mesophelia transform their scent after burning--from a sweet nut-like aroma into a stink like rotting onion--to lure mammals that excavate and eat these truffles, and then spread their spores. Or, with her, we spot the eerie glow of the ghost fungus. The ghost fungus looks like an edible oyster mushroom, but don't confuse them. If you put ghost fungus in your mouth, it will soon come back out, with everything else in your stomach. Or you might enjoy seeing vegetable caterpillars--neither vegetable nor caterpillar--but a fungus that eats arthropods from the inside out. Pouliot's focus on the global community of fungus experts, the importance of local knowledge, and the historic and current contributions of women in mycology all reinforce her message that understanding fungi is fundamental for us all"
