Poisonous Fungus Amongus (Second Edition): A Toxicologist's Rhyming Guide to Poisonous Mushroom Basics and Safe Foraging for Curious Kids and Nature Lovers - Softcover
Synopsis
A fun, science-based introduction to poisonous mushrooms-perfect for curious kids and families!
From the mind of a toxicologist who treats real mushroom poisonings alongside doctors and poison centers comes Poisonous Fungus Amongus-a playful, rhyming children's book for children of all ages that explores the fascinating (and sometimes dangerous) world of mushrooms.
This beautifully illustrated book introduces young readers to poisonous mushrooms, edible mushrooms that can still make you sick, and dangerous look-alikes, all through engaging rhyme and clear, age-appropriate explanations. It's an ideal STEM and nature education book for kids who love the outdoors, science, and discovery.
What's inside:
- A colorful introduction to mushroom anatomy and ecology
- Simple explanations of caps, gills, pores, rings, bulbs (volvas), veils, spore prints, and more
- Tips for safe mushroom foraging and why misidentification can be dangerous
- Real-world lessons showing how even "edible" mushrooms can cause illness if mishandled
- Insight into fungi's hidden roles in nature, from mycorrhizae to forest recycling
Real mushrooms, real science
Every mushroom shown in this book is a real species photographed by mycology experts, including renowned mushroom photographer Tavis Lynch. Each mushroom depicted is genuinely poisonous-unless it is clearly presented as a look-alike.
With rhythm, rhyme, and scientific accuracy, Poisonous Fungus Amongus helps kids learn how to observe mushrooms safely, encouraging curiosity while reinforcing caution.
✨ Perfect for:
- Children of all ages, with something for every stage-little listeners and curious readers alike
- Parents and families interested in nature and outdoor safety
- Teachers and homeschool educators
- Young mushroom enthusiasts and budding scientists
- Fans of science books, nature books, and educational picture books
Poisonous Fungus Amongus is not a field guide-it's a fun, educational adventure that teaches kids to respect mushrooms, ask questions, and stay safe while exploring the natural world.
