Praise for Meeting the Mushrooms of Los Angeles : " Meeting the Mushrooms of Los Angele s encompasses both the philosophy of fungi and mushroom identification in Southern California. Featuring deep dives into the ecological roles of fungi, the varied habitats they occur in, along with how to approach stewardship and conservation mindfully, the book is well organized, scientifically accurate, and entertaining to read--a must-have for anyone interested in the mushrooms of SoCal." -- Dr. Gordon Walker , author of Dr. Fun Guy's Passport to Kingdom Fungi " Meeting the Mushrooms of Los Angeles is so good, I hardly know where to start: Gorgeous photos, queer mating types, novel modes of curiosity, and a caring introduction to getting to know fungi. This one will make you fall in love with fungi." -- Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing , author of The Mushroom at the End of the World "Aaron so beautifully reveals the wondrous world beneath our feet, reminding us that fungi have so much to teach us about reciprocity, connection, and belonging. A magical invitation to look closer, stay curious, and fall in love with the living world around us.
