Mycophilia

Just started reading "Mycophilia" by Eugenia Bone.
Myco= fungus, philia=loving
A book about loving mushrooms!

Just at Chapter Two and I am enjoying it.

Bone writes also about the mushroom lovers she has met, 
including the fungi "rock stars" of the United States. 
Strangely, the kooky, quirky types she describes with an anthropological eye 
remind me of my new friends in the Oslo Mycological Society!
Is there such a thing as a mushroom "race"? 
Humans who live in a happy symbiosis with the inhabitants of the fifth kingdom?  

Eugenia Bone is a writer and co-president of the New York Mycological Society.
