How good is this book!!!

My good friends, local fungi aficionados Stephen Axford & Catherine Marciniak, are taking their world-renowned work from Netflix to the page with their brand-new book:
📖 Planet Fungi: A Photographer’s Foray ✨

Their breathtaking images of fungi from across the globe are not only stunning but also shed light on the role of mycorrhizal fungi in regeneration and ecology. 🌍💚

✨ Meet the Authors + Book Signing ✨
