Make room for mushrooms! This educational edition of ASK Magazine puts the FUN in Fungi. There’s no need to forage for fascinating facts – you’ll mush to learn on every page.
Find out what a mycologist does, how we find mushrooms, and what fungi are safe to eat as you follow along with a foraging family. Learn what fungi are: mushrooms, molds, lichens, yeasts, and mildews—and what they are not: animals or plants, and how you can tell the difference between the various kinds. Discover truffles, which are different from the fancy and expensive chocolate confections you might know by that name. These are a fancier and far more expensive type of rare mushroom. And examine some of your favorite flavors and learn how fungi often plays an important part. All this, and more mushy stuff including illuminating illustrations, fun facts, cool comics, and super stories.
