What is a mushroom? What do mushrooms mean? What do mushrooms do? What do we want from mushrooms? What do the mushrooms want?

From our friends at Brocolli Publishing, this is the sequel to their classic Mushroom People, a true treasure. 

Like the life-filled microcosm of a richly decaying stump, the sequel to our best-selling magazine hosts an eclectic variety of stories illuminating the ways mushrooms subvert and expand our understanding of the world around us. In Mushroom People 2, we hear from astromycologists, academics, architects, pharmacists, foragers, fashion designers, home cooks, shopkeepers, composers, and poets all inspired by the many radical ways of being fungi embody. 

The stories in these pages explore creation, destruction, attraction, and hatred: Lauren Oster examines the outer limits of fungi's off-planet potential, Maria Pinto writes about the city as a holobiont, Riitta Ikonen and Annie Collinge find human-sized mushrooms in the Finnish wilds. Bethany van Risjwijk explores the folkloric connection between thunder, lightning, and mushrooms, and Anna Kodé serves mushrooms for dessert. Plus: fungal attachment styles, mushroom zombies, the mycobiome, cozy mushroom houses; and a bonus section on slime molds that oozes with wonder and possibility.
