Summary

In this story, I take you on an introduction to fungi: what the definition of their kingdom is about—they are neither plant nor animal—the mind-blowing variety of sizes, shapes, and the appearance they can take, and their associations with other life forms. I also tell you about their importance to ecosystems, what happens when they produce mushrooms, and the various ways humans use them, ranging from a source of food to yeasts, molds, or "magic mushrooms."
