One of the greatest summer pleasures was the very Russian sport of mushroom foraging. Vladimir Nabokov recounts these joys and their rules. John Cage participates in a mushroom identification course, Marie Luise Kaschnitz reflects on the architecture of mushroom houses, and Vinzenz Klink recommends truffles: This mushroom reading book invites literary treasure hunts with Sarah Kirsch, Arno Schmidt, Leo Tolstoy, and many others. And with Peter Handke, of course, we head into the woods to the "Dingsda." Fairy rings, puffballs, or tree fungi: The texts are adorned with enchanting colored illustrations by Christina Kraus.
