El futuro es fúngico

The fungus kingdom has survived all five of the great extinctions. They are the architects of the natural world, an integral part of all life. They support critical ecosystems by recycling nutrients and connecting plants across vast areas, and help make many of the staples of contemporary life, including wine, chocolate, bread, detergent, and penicillin. Today, in the face of urgent ecological, social, and spiritual crises, mushrooms are being engineered to develop alternatives to meat, create new sources of medicine, produce sustainable biomaterials, repair the environment, and even broaden collective consciousness. With informative texts, stunning 3D illustrations, and tips for immersing yourself in the world of mushrooms, this book is a manifesto for the future and an invitation to a deeper awareness of our relationship with the natural world, with each other, and with ourselves. themselves.
