Review: Do not listen to the american who put 1 star he bought the wrong book. This is a great book written well.

The book is split up into sometimes 1 or 2 page case studies explaining a brief history of that mushroom with a range of topics.

Great cover and art. 4 stars because sometimes there are events or terminologies talked about in the book that aren’t common knowledge and I was not aware of, that are not explained. However, perhaps that is down to my own ignorance.

I love this book. Definitely worth a read
