In Giant Polypores & Stoned Reindeer, author-mycologist Lawrence Millman visits every point of the compass in search of rare or simply weird fungi. In his own New England, he discovers a species thought to be extinct for the last 100 years; and in Siberia, he finds a mushroom that may or may not have inspired the invention of Santa Claus. In the words of Britt Bunyard, editor of Fungi, the book is “insightful, imaginative, brilliantly-written, and sometimes downright hilarious.”
