The introductory pages of this book, where most of the detail can be found are really interesting. I don't think most people have ever stopped to think much about fungi and this section of the book contains some fascinating information. It covers everything from where fungi are found, how they work and how they live with other plants.
There's then a list of about 60-70 different fungi, each with a map of where they are found globally, a small illustration and a (usually) interesting fact. After a great start I felt the individual pages on each fungi needed a little bit more information. The illustrations wouldn't help you identify something that you found, so it's mostly just a list of interesting facts.

This is a beautiful book; the illustrations are incredible!
It's definitely a coffee table book rather than a field guide as it shows mushrooms from across the world.
It's a fascinating book for anyone interested in fungi!
