The Secret Life Of Fungi by Aliya Whiteley
Discoveries from a Hidden World
A lyrical and accessible tour of the hidden fungal kingdom, this book reveals how these organisms underpin ecosystems as decomposers and symbionts, knit forests together through mycelial networks, and shape human life via fermentation, medicine, and myth. Through vivid vignettes that blend science, history, and personal reflection, it explores truffles and yeasts, lichens and molds, parasitic and cooperative strategies, and the astonishing resilience of spores, inviting a fresh perspective on the intricate connections that sustain the living world.
