The Forest in the Tree: How Fungi Shape the Earth

Ailsa Wild,Aviva Reed,Briony Barr,Gregory Crocetti

A little fungus meets a baby cacao tree and they learn to feed each other. They cooperate with a forest of plants and a metropolis of microbes in the soil. But when drought strikes can they work together to survive?

- Nadja Slovak – Primary School Teacher & Librarian

- Jeannie Baker – Author

“Beautifully illustrated, well written, and provides a clear introduction to a hugely important topic.”

- Merlin Sheldrake, author of Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds, and Shape Our Futures
