Dr. Rita Lüder is a PhD biologist who has been teaching courses on plants and fungi for many years, often alongside her husband Frank. Their shared goal is to raise awareness of the uniqueness and diversity of nature's treasures and their various uses. Fungi are more than just culinary delicacies - life on Earth would not be possible without them! Furthermore, they can enrich our lives in many ways: for papermaking, dyeing, as ink for writing, and much more. This book invites readers to explore the fascinating world of fungi with all their senses. It includes portraits of the most popular mushrooms, instructions for their uses, and descriptions of their lookalikes. General information on foraging, preparation, and various other topics serves as an introduction to mycology, rounding out the book.
