Kew Pocketbooks: Fungi reveals the weird and wonderful forms of fungi. Neither plants nor animals, and only showing themselves to us in nature through their spore-forming bodies, they are truly extraordinary. For over 6,000 years fungi have been used in food, drink and medicine. They play a vital role in the ecology of woodlands and other natural habitats.

The 40 illustrations selected from Kew’s renowned Library and Archives feature the work of Elsie Wakefield, a pioneer female scientist and talented artist. An introduction by Kew experts provides scientific insight into this unique kingdom of organisms.
