The Mushroom Compendium
Unearth the scientific, cultural and fantastical properties of mushrooms with this fun deck.Â
Fungi are the foundation upon which a healthy ecosystem is based; they're essential to the growth and success of our planet and yet many people barely know a porcini from a portobello, or a chestnut from a shiitake - and that's just the edible ones.
With these 50 beautifully illustrated reference cards and accompanying poster, explore the world of mushrooms beyond what's in your kitchen - from a ballerina waxcap and barbie pagodas to a snowy disco and stinkhorns - and discover the incredible diversity of their roles in ecosystems around the world. Different varieties and the habitats in which mushrooms thrive are everywhere across the globe, and the importance of these organisms shouldn't be understated.
Details:Â
- Includes 50 cards that are 6" x 3.8"
- Cards are divided into categories including Micro/Macro, Saprobe, Symbiotic, Parasite, Useful, Weird, and Rare
- Cards, category dividers and poster are houled in a 6.7"H x 4.3"W x 1.7"D flip-top box
A product of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, the set is illustrated by Alice Pattullo and designed by Dan Jackson, with text by Lee Davies, Isabella Miles-Bunch, Roseina Woods and Amy Junnonen.
