Neither plants nor animals, fungi are weird and wonderful, and these extraordinary life-forms are celebrated in Kew Pocketbooks: Fungi.
Author: RBG Kew, with an introduction by Lynn Parker. 96pp. 40 colour paintings. 140 x 185 mm. Hardback, ISBN 978 1 84246 726 8, Kew Publishing 2021.
Kew Pocketbooks: Fungi reveals the weird and wonderful forms of fungi. Neither plants nor animals, and only showing themselves to us in nature through their spore-forming bodies, they are truly extraordinary. For over 6,000 years fungi have been used in food, drink and medicine. They play a vital role in the ecology of woodlands and other natural habitats.
The 40 illustrations selected from Kew’s renowned Library and Archives feature the work of Elsie Wakefield, a pioneer female scientist and talented artist. An introduction by Kew experts provides scientific insight into this unique kingdom of organisms.
Each book from the Pocketbook collection will feature an introductory chapter written by a Kew expert.
