Entangled Life

It's clear that the author comes to this subject with a sense of wonder, happy to explore new and old questions that don't necessarily have answers. It also seems the author is happy to float off a little farther outside the box than the textual framework might initially seem to support, and that he's happy to repeat himself if he thinks it will help convey the information he's focused on. There were many nifty tidbits, but it does feel more like a personal journey of the author's relationship to and ongoing studies of fungi, less like an investigative summary of the facts as we know them. 
 We'll chalk this one up to me having incorrect expectations. 🤷🏼‍♂️

⚠️Heads up:
Nematode worm eating/hunting fungus/mushrooms description and what  zombie fungi do to carpenter ants  could make great content for the relatively new subgenre of “sporror” I keep hearing about (that I will never ever read) (apparently the second one already has been inspiration for fictional media?)

I did also flip through the Illustrated Edition as my library also had it. A work of art. Absolute feast for the eyes. Photography, microscopy, and illustrations, all in full colour, a gorgeous coffee table book. (Coulda done with out a couple of those insect shots. 😶‍🌫️)
