Unearth the scientific, cultural and fantastical properties of mushrooms. Fungi are the foundation upon which a healthy ecosystem is based; they're essential to the growth and success of our planet and yet many people barely know a porcini from a portobello, or a chestnut from a shiitake - and that's just the edible ones.
With these 50 reference cards and accompanying poster, explore the world of mushrooms beyond what's in your kitchen - from a ballerina waxcap and barbie pagodas to a snowy disco and stinkhorns - and discover the incredible diversity of their roles in ecosystems around the world.
Inside this oversized deck, you'll find 50 illustrated cards profiling 50 varieties of mushrooms from around the globe, accompanied by a detailed poster. The cards are beautifully illustrated by East London illustrator Alice Pattullo and there is knowledgable text by the curators at Kew Garden's Fungarium.
