Title: The Secret Life of Fungi: Discoveries from a Hidden World Author: Aliya Whiteley Narrator: Alison Larkin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 31 minutes Release date: September 7, 2021 Genres: Animals & Nature Publisher's Summary: Fungi are unlike any other living thing—they’re almost magically unique. Welcome to this astonishing world … Fungi can appear anywhere, from desert dunes to frozen tundra. They can invade our bodies and live between our toes or our floorboards. They are unwelcome intruders or vastly expensive treats, and symbols of both death and eternal life. But despite their familiar presence, there’s still much to learn about the eruption, growth, and decay of their secret, interconnected world. Aliya Whiteley has always been in love with fungi—from her childhood taking blurry photographs of strange fungal eruptions on Exmoor to a career as a writer inspired by their surreal and alien beauty. This love for fungi is a love for life, from single-cell spores to the largest living organism on the planet; a story stretching from Aliya’s lawn into orbit and back again via every continent. From fields, feasts, and fairy rings to death caps, puffballs, and ambrosia beetles, this is an intoxicating journey into the life of an extraordinary organism, one that we have barely begun to understand.
