Also this book is AMAZING. Really changed the way I look at not just fungus but the world. i read the standard text version, but he then released an illustrated version with photographs and diagrams and illustrations and im soooo jealous people get to experience it that way for the first time.
What they feel. How they communicate.
You donāt need to be into plants to like this book. Itās simply letting you in in this other universe when humans are not the main character and itās so beautiful and rewarding. Trees socialize, grow societies and children and take care of their neighbors and friends. And itās not even a metaphor.
Bought this on a whim bc of the Hilma af Klint painting on the cover ! Such a beautiful book and a really moving exploration of how artists have used creativity to explore spirituality, science, and human consciousness
this book permanently changed the way i view the world. itās a book that combines the indigenous viewpoint with a more scientific one as the author is a Potawatomi botanist. it is such a beautifully written and insightful book that iām sure youāll enjoy even if you arenāt into all that nature/biology stuff (although that would help). 100/10 would absolutely recommend
I used to be envious of people who had āMySpace friendsā or ātumblr friendsā. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ā¤ļø
