Without fungi, there would be no plants, no animals, no us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith his stunning photography and infectious curiosity, Jay uncovers the bizarre beauty, hidden intelligence and ecological genius of the fungi world. Funny, fascinating and a little bit filthy, this book celebrates the unsung heroes of our planet - the recyclers, the networkers, the quiet alchemists who make life possible. Once you've glimpsed their secret world, you'll never look at fungi the same way again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!--kaikora_description--\u003e\n  \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eJay Lichter works at a landscaping company and lives in Auckland.
