A perfect guide for beginners, Mushrooms & Fungi for Kids starts with an introduction to the kingdom of Fungi. Then it guides readers through the shapes, colors, and forms of mushrooms. The book further discusses mushrooms’ important role in the environment, their relationships with insects, and more. In the field-guide section, fungi are organized by shape and structure to help kids (and adults) start understanding the basics of the mushroom world. While this is not a guide to foraging, readers can gain a lifelong appreciation of mushrooms and fungi by learning to recognize the major groups of them.

Author Bio: Ariel Bonkoski is a self-taught mushroom identification expert that resides in Duluth, Minnesota. She has been studying fungi since 2016 and is now one of the most active mushroom identifiers in North America. Ariel has taught mushroom identification courses and led forays for colleges, public schools, mycological societies, and nature centers all over North America.

Nicely displayed book, a bit old for our seven year old granddaughter but she loves to look at the images and the bleeding tooth is her favourite. Delivery was quick. Nice book to add to her collection.
