- Booking essential
Richard Fortey has spent much of his lifetime searching for rare and extraordinary fungi, in a quest to understand the importance of ‘the forgotten kingdom' in the web of nature.
He takes us on his journey to meet luminous brackets, stinkhorns and stranglers, and many other bizarre and wonderful mushrooms and toadstools, ranging from the ugliest and strangest species to the beautiful silky rosegill. This is a celebration of fungi in all their different roles - both in the natural world and in our own lives.
