Today there are few, if any, places on Earth where fungi have not found themselves a home\u2014their habitats span the poles and the tropics, mountaintops and backyards.<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> Packed with facts and photos, this book introduces you to fungus in many forms\u2014some parasitic, some poisonous, some hallucinogenic and some with healing properties that can be tapped for pharmaceutical products. Then of course, there are the delicious mushrooms that are prized by epicureans and gourmands worldwide.<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> Each species here is reproduced at its actual size, in full color, and accompanied by a scientific explanation of its distribution, habitat, association, abundance, growth form, spore color, and edibility. With information on the characteristics, locations, distinguishing features, and occasionally bizarre habits of these fungi, you\u2019ll find in this book the common and the conspicuous, the unfamiliar and the odd\u2014including a fungal predator, for instance, that hunts its prey with lassos, and several that set traps, including one that entices sows by releasing the pheromones of a wild boar.<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> \u201cHow dazzling is the world of mushrooms? The fan-shaped cinnabar oysterling looks like something you would find undersea. The violet webcap is vibrant. These are among the more than 600 fungi described and illustrated in this scholarly and beautiful book.\u201d\u2014TheNew York Times<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> \u201cAnyone with an appreciation of the beauty of nature will enjoy.\u201d\u2014Grand Forks Herald    <\/p>\n<p> ASIN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 B00R4FQDUK <br \/> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 The University of Chicago Press (December 10, 2014) <br \/> Publication date                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 December 10, 2014 <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> File size                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 190512 KB <br \/> Text-to-Speech                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Screen Reader                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Supported <br \/> Enhanced typesetting                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> X-Ray                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Not Enabled <br \/> Word Wise                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Not Enabled <br \/> Sticky notes                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 On Kindle Scribe <br \/> Print length                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 658 pages <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the photography beautiful, life-size, and in gorgeous color.
