by Lucy Kavaler Mushrooms, Molds, and Miracles is a fascinating book! I did not think at first I would enjoy reading about something as unattractive as fungi. I was wrong. The title may imply that you need a collegiate mind or research background to understand the material. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is possibly one of the most interesting and informative books I have read since college. I would not begin to classify it in the same category as a college textbook because anyone can enjoy this book. I picked it up with detached ho-hum-ness and found it difficult to put down. I was half way through it at midnight and reluctantly laid it on my bedside table as I switched off the light to go to sleep. I couldn’t wait to pick it back up in the morning over coffee and toast (which I checked for fungi with a newfound friendliness). You will gain a new interest in how molds affect your life, a new respect for mushroom connoisseurs, and a heightened knowledge of fungi and foods after reading this informative book. I loved it and recommend it to gardeners, nutritionists, and homemakers, plus those who have no horticultural interest at all. Kavaler writes with a gregarious style that is welcoming and fun. She knows that the reader probably has no idea how interesting fungi can be and you can almost hear her pleased giggle as you read her words. But, the joke is on you. Read it, you will be glad you did, then pass it on to your friends and try to contain your enthusiasm as they look at you and ask, "Are you serious?" |
