Also this book is AMAZING. Really changed the way I look at not just fungus but the world. i read the standard text version, but he then released an illustrated version with photographs and diagrams and illustrations and im soooo jealous people get to experience it that way for the first time.

What they feel. How they communicate.
You don’t need to be into plants to like this book. It’s simply letting you in in this other universe when humans are not the main character and it’s so beautiful and rewarding. Trees socialize, grow societies and children and take care of their neighbors and friends. And it’s not even a metaphor.

Bought this on a whim bc of the Hilma af Klint painting on the cover ! Such a beautiful book and a really moving exploration of how artists have used creativity to explore spirituality, science, and human consciousness

this book permanently changed the way i view the world. it’s a book that combines the indigenous viewpoint with a more scientific one as the author is a Potawatomi botanist. it is such a beautifully written and insightful book that i’m sure you’ll enjoy even if you aren’t into all that nature/biology stuff (although that would help). 100/10 would absolutely recommend

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
