While the beautiful coral mushroom looks like it belongs under the sea, the peculiar \u003ci\u003eLactarius indigo\u003c\/i\u003e may be better suited for outer space. From the fun-to-stomp puffballs to the prince of the stinkers--the stinkhorn mushroom--and the musically inclined chanterelles, Gravel shares her knowledge of this fascinating kingdom by bringing each species to life in full felt-tip-marker glory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Governor General Award-winning author Gravel's first book with Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly, \u003ci\u003eIf Found . . .
