Radical Mycology explores the unique biology of fungi and their critical ecological roles, including the identification of mushrooms and mycorrhizal fungi, as well as the medicinal value of lichens. It provides readers with practical techniques for creating fungal medicines, growing food, and cultivating mushrooms sustainably using recycled tools. The book goes beyond traditional mushroom guides, covering natural mushroom farming principles influenced by permaculture and mycoremediation—the use of fungi to address pollution. It also delves into the social implications of mycelial networks and the history of psychoactive fungi. Suitable for both beginners and experienced mycologists, Radical Mycology serves as an essential resource for DIY homesteading, community organizing, and ecological awareness. More than just a guide to mushrooms, it calls for a deeper alliance with fungi to promote a healthier world, making it a classic reference for future generations.
