Entangled Life
Entangled Life
Merlin Sheldrake · first published 2020 · ISBN 9781784708276
A biologist makes the case that fungi are not a footnote to plant life but a parallel kingdom that shaped it, from mycorrhizal networks under forests to the yeasts in bread. Sheldrake is a careful scientist and a genuinely good writer, a rare pairing.
