The book contains a lot of photographs, some drawings and other illustrations, and several text boxes about specific species of fungi. All fungi use spores to reproduce. Spores are like the pollen in plants. They can be dispersed (spread) by wind, water or insects depending on the species.

Wood ear mushrooms grow in temperate forests around the world. They usually pop up on older trees in groups, and grow on dead and living ash, spindle, and beech trees. What’s unique about this mushroom? I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet. EASY TO PLAY - As the game goes on, the aim is to try to collect clusters, or combinations of 2 to 4 different fungi. Each completed cluster has a points value, and the player who reaches ten points first will be crowned champignon!

This is a book designed to have adults supporting young naturalists to learn about fungi through a hands-on approach: "Make a Spore Print," "Design Your Own Fungus," "Lichen-Looking Expedition," "Make Your Own Fungus-Fighting Mix," "Design a Postage Stamp," "Bundle Die with Fungi," "Send a Soil Sample," etc. Because of the dangers of interacting with fungi in the wild without supervision, I would not give this to children for independent reading unless they are 12 and older. Although the game can be played by two players, there’s more fun to be had with three or four players. There’s more choice of who to steal cards from or swap cards with, and the game lasts a little longer. This is a light card game, so you can play multiple games in one sitting; it’s good as a warmup or filler on game nights, or when time is limited and you’re looking for a short burst of fun.

Human and animal studies show that the polysaccharides (such as beta-glucans) in Cordyceps Militaris can have an anti-fatigue effect; enhance respiratory function; and can improve exercise performance biomarkers like VO2 max ( 20 , 21, 2 2). Preliminary human and animal cell studies suggest Cordyceps militaris may also support healthy levels of inflammation and immune system markers ( 23, 2 4). American composer, John Cage, was not only one of the most influential composers of the 20th century, but he was also a great mushroom lover.
