Fungi

Enter the hidden kingdom of fungi — nature's recyclers, healers, and master networkers.

Fungi are neither plants nor animals but a kingdom all their own, and they're far more important than most people realise. Beneath the forest floor, vast networks of fungal threads called mycelium connect trees and plants, sharing nutrients and chemical signals in what scientists call the 'Wood Wide Web'. Fungi break down dead matter and recycle nutrients back into the soil, making them essential to every ecosystem. This collection spans familiar mushrooms and bracket fungi, microscopic moulds, and lichens — remarkable partnerships between fungi and algae that can survive in some of the harshest environments on Earth, from scorching deserts to Antarctic rocks.
