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.

Discover the importance of mushrooms and fungi in this children’s book that includes an introduction to mycology, as well as common mushrooms and fungi.

Mushrooms are truly amazing! They are more closely related to animals than to plants, and there are some 150,000 different species—not counting the millions that are likely waiting to be discovered. Become a young mycologist. Learn all about mushrooms, fungi, and lichens. Debut author and mushroom expert Ariel Bonkoski presents a kids’ introduction to mycology. From well-known fungi like puffballs and lion’s mane to toxic varieties like destroying angels, this book provides the information kids need to know about fungi.
