Notes

Dr. Mike Amaranthus is a world-renowned mycologist and scientist, who even has several mushroom and truffles named after him. Dr. Mike believes “fungi” should emphasize “fun”. As a two-time cancer survivor, getting to know this fantastic group of mushrooms has enriched and perhaps saved his life. He believes that a book cannot only be accurate and have substance but also delight the reader with stories, history, possibilities, recipes, and much more.
