It’s a Fungus Among Us

Carla Billups, Dawn Cusick

This nonfiction book shows that fungi include far more than mushrooms. It examines their roles in making foods such as bread, producing medicines, causing illnesses including ringworm, and creating habitats for other organisms. It also addresses fungi that people can eat and those that are poisonous. The book includes examples of fungi with unusual abilities, including some that consume jet fuel.
