Why Mushrooms Matter

In today’s world, where we’re increasingly disconnected from nature, mushrooms offer a fascinating bridge back to the natural world. They’re not just food or decomposers—they’re teachers, healers, and vital components of our ecosystem. Through this book, I hope to share not only my knowledge but also my passion for these extraordinary organisms.
