Books Reference Books The more we learn about fungi, the less makes sense without them. Neither plant nor animal, they are found throughout the earth, the air & our bodies. They can be microscopic, yet also account for the largest organisms ever recorded. They enabled the first life on l&, can survive unprotected in space & thrive amidst nuclear radiation. In fact, nearly all life relies in some way on fungi. These endlessly surprising organisms have no brain but can solve problems & manipulate animal behaviour with devastating precision. In giving us bread, alcohol & life-saving medicines, fungi have shaped human history, & their psychedelic properties have recently been shown to alleviate a number of mental illnesses. Their ability to digest plastic, explosives, pesticides & crude oil is being harnessed in break-through technologies, & the discovery that they connect plants in underground networks, the ' Wood Wide Web', is transforming the way we understand ecosystems. Yet over ninety percent of their species remain undocumented. Entangled Life is a mind-altering journey into a spectacular & neglected world, & shows that fungi provide a key to understanding both the planet on which we live, & life itself.
