Enter the mysterious world of mushrooms.
Be amazed.
Question yourself.
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 soils?
That they speak a language among themselves?
That they are a true reservoir of medicinal molecules?
That thanks to them the desert can turn green again?
That their spores play with the weather?
Did you know their mycelium makes billions of decisions beneath 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 universe of mushrooms. A discovery that could well transform our world!

The Mycosphere's opinion:
We are truly proud to present to you The Unknown and Discreet Genius of Mushrooms, written by our friend Guillaume E. Lopez. This book was clearly missing in French literature! It finally honors the fungal kingdom as it deserves. Mycology, still young and booming, deserves greater recognition, and this book paves the way by bringing together science, art, entrepreneurship, and myco-fan passion. Guillaume manages to build bridges between these worlds with rare elegance and poetry. A must-read for anyone wanting to discover the fascinating potential of mushrooms!
