This little book is big fun.--Michael Pollan

An illustrated mini-encyclopedia of fungal lore, from John Cage and Terence McKenna to mushroom sex and fairy rings

Fungipedia presents a delightful A-Z treasury of mushroom lore. With more than 180 entries--on topics as varied as Alice in Wonderland, chestnut blight, medicinal mushrooms, poisonings, Santa Claus, and waxy caps--this collection will transport both general readers and specialists into the remarkable universe of fungi.

Combining ecological, ethnographic, historical, and contemporary knowledge, author and mycologist Lawrence Millman discusses how mushrooms are much more closely related to humans than to plants, how they engage in sex, how insects farm them, and how certain species happily dine on leftover radiation, cockroach antennae, and dung. He explores the lives of individuals like African American scientist George Washington Carver, who specialized in crop diseases caused by fungi; Beatrix Potter, creator of Peter Rabbit, who was prevented from becoming a professional mycologist because she was a woman; and Gordon Wasson, a J. P. Morgan vice-president who almost single-handedly introduced the world to magic mushrooms. Millman considers why fungi are among the most significant organisms on our planet and how they are currently being affected by destructive human behavior, including climate change.

With charming drawings by artist and illustrator Amy Jean Porter, Fungipedia offers a treasure trove of scientific and cultural information. The world of mushrooms lies right at your door--be amazed

Decent Snack, But Not Worth the Price
Flavor Name: Green & Kalamata, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 5)
Decent Snack, But Not Worth the Price I was intrigued when I watched Freestyle Snacks on Shark Tank, especially since I really enjoy olives and loved the idea of having a convenient, on-the-go option. I’ll admit..., the packaging is excellent. It’s clean, well-designed, and makes it easy to toss a pack into a bag without worrying about spills or mess. That said, the cost outweighs the quality. The olives themselves are nothing special, and certainly not different enough to justify the premium price point. You can buy similar (or better) olives at your local grocery store for a fraction of the cost and portion them into zip-top bags on the days you want them. I would be a regular customer if the pricing were more reasonable, because the convenience factor is definitely there. Unfortunately, as it stands, they’re simply overpriced for what you get.

Delicious!
Flavor Name: Original, Lemon Garlic, Hot & Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 3)
Absolutely frickin delicious! The size is good for what you get. I use a bag 3 times for salads. Very easy to keep in the fridge and open and close. I think compared to jars and other olives and the quality it is a good price. The flavor is awesome!
