Humongous Fungus by DK: 9780744033335 | PenguinRandomHouse

I think this would be interesting for any child generally enthusiastic about nature but also works well as a specific topic study in educational contexts. You know those mushroom rings 🍄🍄🍄 in folklore that say they’re formed by fairies dancing in a circle?

Fungal stories include the greening of the Earth, when fungi helped plants first grow on land, and the mass destruction of crops through fungal disease. I did enjoy reading this book, although I am not super interested in informational texts as much as other books so I would probably not continue to read more of these. It does have a lot of good info to share, but you have to be okay with a little chaos if you're using it for learning purposes. If it had specialized in large fungus or something—which is what I thought it would do based on the cover—it probably would have been easier to focus while I was reading it, but man, it's all over the place. Glossary and index, no sources (except for photo credits) but DK thanks experts for their contributions at the end.
