This was a sweet little book gifted to me for Christmas by Glen and Darla Whipple. Their daughter, Michelle recommended it, and they are reading it too.
I found it entertaining, fascinating in parts, and full of wonder. I like reading and learning about the natural world. And the world of fungi IS fascinating and pervasive in our world. I had no idea they were EVERYWHERE! I liked how Whiteley related some of her personal story as she revealed what she learned about fungi. I always like a good English setting, so that was a plus. She describes the smells and sights of the forest beautifully. I also appreciated the short chapters... I could take this book in small chunks and savor each one.
I enjoyed it, but it is not a repeat read or a keeper for me. I'm trying to think of someone to give it to who would like it. It's such a pretty little book with a great cover. So...do I keep it for that????
