“This audiobook opens our eyes to the fact that we should finally consider mushrooms as one of the greatest wonders of nature ...”

Time Magazine

When we use the word “mushroom”, we usually we mean the fruiting body of a fungus, although it is essentially the same as an apple on a tree. Most fungi live secret - underground - lives, and they make up a "motley" group of organisms that support almost all other living systems. It is the key to understanding the planet we live on and how we feel, think and behave.

The talented young biologist Merlin Sheldrake turns the world upside down: he invites the reader to look at it from the perspective of a yeast, psilocybin fungi, parasitic fungi, and a web of mycelium that extends for miles below the earth's surface (making fungi the largest living organisms on the planet). The revealed mushroom essence forces us to reconsider our views on individuality and intelligence, because mushrooms, as it turns out, are the masters of metabolism, creators of soils and key players in many natural processes. They are able to change our consciousness, heal our bodies, and even reverse the ecological catastrophe hanging over us. These organisms are revolutionizing our understanding of life itself on Earth.
