Book: The Little-Known and Discreet Genius of Mushrooms

The opinion of the Mycosphere:

We are really proud to present to you The Little-Known and Discreet Genius of Mushrooms, written by our friend Guillaume E. Lopez. This book was clearly missing in French-speaking literature! It finally highlights the fungal kingdom as it should. Mycology, still young and booming, deserves greater recognition, and this book leads the way in bringing together science, art, entrepreneurship and myco-fan passion. Guillaume succeeds in creating bridges between these worlds with rare elegance and poetry. A must for anyone who wants to discover all the fascinating potential of mushrooms!

Enter the mysterious world of mushrooms.

Astonish yourself. 

Do you question?

The fungal kingdom has so much to teach us!

Conductors of our ecosystems (without them, no life on earth!), these “beings” of networks and resilience never cease to surprise us.

Did you know, for example, that they constantly shape the floors?

What language do they speak among themselves?

That they are a real reservoir of medicinal molecules?

That thanks to them the desert can become green again?

Do their spores play with the weather?

That their mycelium makes billions of decisions under our feet, like a living microprocessor?...

By their structure, their “functioning” or their properties, they are sources of inspiration in various fields such as medicine, chemistry, logistics, engineering, art or technology.

In this work, the author invites us to dive into the extraordinary world of mushrooms. A discovery that could transform our world!

Guillaume E. Lopez, mycologist, biologist amazed by the living world and entrepreneur, is a specialist in bio-inspiration. Also a speaker and creator of Instagram and TikTok accounts specializing in Fungi (@ZennoNature: + 260 K), he never stops introducing us to the fascinating world mushrooms.
