The Gourmand's Mushroom: A Collection of Stories and Recipes published by Taschen

The Gourmand's Mushroom: A Collection of Stories and Recipes uses mushrooms to connect cookery, folklore, toxicology, art, fashion, film, and natural history, pairing cultural essays with original recipes and photography that treats fungi as both ingredient and form.

“I find this edition especially convincing because it moves naturally between field guide, food book, and cultural history without losing the strangeness of its subject. It rewards curiosity in a way that feels natural rather than dutiful.”
-Mrs. Mayfair
