Fungi are having a moment. Research shows psychedelics can be a powerful tool to treat mental health issues, and local, state, and federal governments are open to decriminalizing shrooms or exploring medical applications. But, as Merlin Sheldrake enthusiastically shows, fungi are amazing—in the truest sense of the word. Without fungi, plants wouldn’t exist, and neither would you. Ninety percent of plants require mycorrhizal fungi to live. Every year, fungi release fifty megatons of spores (the equivalent of a half-million blue whales). Fungi give us medicine and break down the dead, and as many as ninety percent remain undiscovered. They are also, as Entangled reveals in dozens of microscopic images, beautiful, creepy, weird, fascinating, and unforgettable.
