What we’re reading

Entangled Life

Entangled Life

by

A really fascinating book, which blew our minds! The facts that fungi are closer to animals than plants, that they can solve a maze by the most efficient route, that they can have hundreds of different genders, the revelations come thick and fast. One of those books that entirely changes the way we see the world and often feels closer to philosophy than natural history. Amazing! Buy from us here! https://www.steyningbookshop.co.uk/books/books-for-adults/non-fiction-for-adults/nature/entangled-life-how-fungi-make-our-worlds-change-our-minds-and-shape-our-futures/
