The Mushroom Compendium – Illustrated Reference Cards

A closer look at the extraordinary kingdom of fungi. The Mushroom Compendium explores mushrooms from around the world, pairing Alice Pattullo’s illustrations with text by the curators at Kew Gardens’ Fungarium.

From ballerina waxcaps to stinkhorns, the cards introduce the variety of forms, habitats and roles that make fungi such a fascinating part of the natural world. Discover their place in ecosystems alongside stories of their scientific and cultural significance, reaching well beyond the mushrooms we know from the kitchen.

With an accompanying poster, this is a thoughtful gift for a nature lover or a collection to dip into on a quiet afternoon, one mushroom at a time.
