This was an amazing book. To be honest I almost did not read it, I had downloaded the audiobook but the narrator was not for me. The print book was much better.
I also had to google a lot of the Latin names and the print book allowed for me to get the spelling correct.
Discover the chromatic wonders of the fungi kingdom and the incredible spectrum of pigments and dyes that can be created from mushrooms.
Thank you Chronicle Books & Netgalley for the digital ARC! I enjoyed reading this book. I like eating the mushrooms that are sold at the grocery store. I‘ve always wanted to know about the role that mushrooms play in our ecosystem and I learned so much.

This book force feeds academic theories with little evidence beyond the authors‘ opinions. I wanted a close look at the Matsutake mushroom, instead I got many long theory papers without proper citations.
Read for a biased look at the social & cultural world of Matsutake & for even more bias around the science. Some basic mushroom biology is included
1/5 Skim this book if you want to learn about Matsutake mushrooms; read for academic theory
This was a really strange book. When there are mushrooms involved, I‘m always interested. The main character is a pianist stuck in a loveless marriage, when ghosts of the past suddenly come calling. The lines of reality, dream, and hallucination blur. This is a novel about grief, and the journeys we take to the path of self-realization. I couldn‘t help but think of themes of China‘s ‘left over women‘ in this novel. More on that here:⬇️
