In fact, nearly all life relies in some way on fungi. They enabled the first life on land, can survive unprotected in space and thrive amidst nuclear radiation. They can be microscopic, yet also account for the largest organisms ever recorded. Neither plant nor animal, they are found throughout the earth, the air and our bodies. The more we learn about fungi, the less makes sense without them. I want to recommend it to everyone, for me it’s a genuine must-read and just had to be included on my list of Liz Picks of the Month and as a LoveReading Star Book. Fungi has shaped our history and “the ability of fungi to digest plastic, explosives, pesticides and crude oil is being harnessed in breakthrough technologies, and the discovery that they connect plants in underground networks, the ‘wood wide web’, is transforming the way we understand ecosystems.” Entangled Life made me reconsider established thoughts and opened my eyes to new ones.

I still feel gobsmacked days after reading it. I had to stop reading every so often just to contemplate the world that was opening up in front of me.

“Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live.Yet they live their lives largely hidden from view, and over 90% if their species remain undocumented.” Author Merlin Sheldrake caught and held my attention from the outset. Seriously, I could rave on and on about it! Journey to what feels like an entirely different planet and explore the wonder of fungi. Truly fascinating, this is one of the most surprising books I’ve read in a while.
