Book Description
Excerpt from An Elementary Text-Book of British Fungi The purpose and intention of the present work are set forth in the opening chapter. It is designed to be an elementary introduction to the study of Fungi, chiefly in those aspects which most readily engage popular attention. Beyond that, it is intended to cover, as comprehensively and accurately as possible, the entire subject of Fungi considered as aliment. I am well convinced that such information is often vainly sought for, that it is needed, and that it will prove useful. Every succeeding year shows that intelligent lovers of Nature are inclined to take an increasing interest in Fungi. There are, as I know from past experience, but few means open to such persons of acquiring the knowledge they are desirous of being possessed of, and there is no small difficulty in obtaining access to the recorded results of mycologists' labours. It has been my object to meet popular requirements, so far as my ability went, and I have not allowed myself to entertain the presumption of trying to do more. My interest in Fungi began in boyhood, but it has been mostly within the last ten years that I have been able to carry out diligent study, so far as the exigences of a struggling life afforded opportunities for it. It has never been my privilege, as yet, to meet with any person versed in Mycology from whom I could derive instruction.

Book Description
Although relatively little known, fungi provide the links between the terrestrial organisms and ecosystems that underpin our functioning planet. The Allure of Fungi presents fungi through multiple perspectives – those of mycologists and ecologists, foragers and forayers, naturalists and farmers, aesthetes and artists, philosophers and Traditional Owners. It explores how a history of entrenched fears and misconceptions about fungi has led to their near absence in Australian ecological consciousness and biodiversity conservation. Through a combination of text and visual essays, the author reflects on how aesthetic, sensate experience deepened by scientific knowledge offers the best chance for understanding fungi, the forest and human interactions with them.
