Yet when it comes to fungi, culinary uses are only the tip of the iceberg. Throughout history fungus has been prized for its diverse properties--medicinal, ecological, even recreational--and has spawned its own quirky subculture dedicated to exploring the weird biology and celebrating the unique role it plays on earth. In \u003ci\u003eMycophilia\u003c\/i\u003e, accomplished food writer and cookbook author Eugenia Bone examines the role of fungi as exotic delicacy, curative, poison, and hallucinogen, and ultimately discovers that a greater understanding of fungi is key to facing many challenges of the 21st century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEngrossing, surprising, and packed with up-to-date science and cultural exploration, \u003ci\u003eMycophilia\u003c\/i\u003e is part narrative and part primer for foodies, science buffs, environmental advocates, and anyone interested in learning a lot about one of the least understood and most curious organisms in nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodale Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609619879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/07\/2013 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eugenia Bone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661908177052,"sku":"9781609619879","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a03f5169-2bd7-4a3b-93d8-ea2ea61cfe80.jpg?v=1603900548","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mycophilia-revelations-from-the-weird-world-of-mushrooms-9781609619879","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
