Take a walk in the woods, look toward your feet and below you you’ll find some of the most complex organisms on the planet: fungi. We don’t really give them the attention they deserve, except perhaps mushrooms at the dining table, but Merlin Sheldrake’s marvelous tour of these diverse and extraordinary life forms is eye-opening on why humans should consider fungi among the greatest of earth’s marvels.
