Did you know that the world’s largest living organism is a fungus? Or that without fungi we would disappear under a mountain of dead leaves?

Beautifully illustrated, RHS Fungi for Gardeners is packed with information on how to identify fungi, why fungi are key to a healthy garden, and projects for growing your own mushrooms to eat or just enjoy!
We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
