Humongous Fungus

Inhabiting a whole kingdom of their own, fungi can be found in every ecosystem. They carpet the forest floor, and hidden fungi decompose matter, feed plants, and affect how animals function. Their beautiful mushrooms come in all colors, shapes, and sizes. From the villains of the possible extinction of bananas to plastic-eating eco-warriors, there are more than 1.5 million fungus species, and a huge, unknown number of unnamed 'dark' types. Touching on topics of conservation and the secret processes within ecosystems, this book of fabulous fungi will intrigue and amaze young readers--
