Books like Fungi for Fun by Elizabeth Dobbs

Name: Fungi for Fun

A mushroom is pleasant to eat, toadstools and puffballs are usually kicked aside without much examination. 'Fairy Rings' are most mysterious, penicillin is one of the wonders of the age, and dry rot the terror of the house owner. In this short book the author tells us the fascinating story of how they live and what they do. She has drawn some delightful pictures to illustrate the text.
