undefined on Instagram: "jazzy.in.the.wild‘Fungi are everywhere but they are easy to miss. They are inside you and around you. They sustain you and all that…" jazzy.in.the.wild‘Fungi are everywhere but they are easy to miss. They are inside you and around you. They sustain you and all that you depend on. As you read these words, fungi are changing the way that life happens, as they have done for more than a billion years. They are eating rock, making soil, digesting pollutants, nourishing and killing plants, surviving in space, inducing visions, producing food, making medicines, manipulating animal behaviour, and influencing the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere.’The opening of Entangled Life, and the 300 odd pages that follow, are as intriguing & intoxicating as the scent of a truffle to a hog ✨️This mind-altering, deep dive into the world of fungi & their mycorrhizal networks, is essential reading for everyone. Fungi are ingrained in almost every aspect of our lives and the majority of us barely lend them a second thought 🍄‘We are unthinkable without them, yet seldom do we think about them.’From zombifying, worm-hunting, strawberry-sweetening fungus, to perfume-making bees & lichens that live on the backs of beetles. Each page will absolutely blow your mind at just how fascinating fungi are, how much we rely on them, and how little we still know about them 🌿This was fabulously written. Although in parts the science can get a bit intense, I found it was really accessible and easy to follow. I’ve never been quite so gripped by a non-fiction, science-heavy book before – I ate through this one in just a few sittings! 📚Just utterly fascinating. Oozing with mind bending facts & ponderings of the strange & wonderful world of fungi 🌍If you think you know fungi, think again… and then go read Entangled Life! 💚‘My exploration of the fungal world has made me re-examine much of what I knew. Evolution, ecosystems, individuality, intelligence, life – none are quite what I thought they were. My hope is that this book loosens some of your certainties, as fungi have loosened mine.’#EntangledLife #Bookstagram #Nature #Naturegram #Fungi #NatureBooks #Wildlife #FungiBooks #Mycology #BookReview #RewildYourShelf #BookRecommendation #NonFiction #BooksInNature

And finally, #EntangledLife by Merlin Sheldrake which I read last month with @rewildyourshelf.bsky.social

An utterly fascinating read from start to finish 🍄

Book 9 was #EntangledLife. It took me a while for this one, but I really enjoyed it-loved the little bits of information about fungi! 4/5 #BookSky

“I wanted to use the LSD trial to think more broadly about the lives of the blue flowers, Voyria, and their fungal relationships. …[W]ithout photosynthesis, Voyria had no way to make the energy, rich sugars and lipids they needed to grow. Nonetheless, I learned a valuable lesson. … [T]he LSD had forced me to admit that I had an imagination, and I now saw fungi differently.” Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake

Prototaxites – giant fungi – were scattered across the landscape in the Devonian time period – 400 million years ago. Plants existed during that time, but none were taller than 1 m. Prototaxites grew to 1 m in diameter and 8 m high and they continued to tower over the land for about 40 million years.

Worlds colliding: #fungi x #TedLasso. Watching @TedLasso w/my amazing partner, @Blue_Sky_Bakery, & saw @TheCoachBeard @brendanhunting reading @MerlinSheldrake's #EntangledLife. I read this together w/interns. It is (imo) the best "Mycology for the masses" book. Happy #FungiFriday

#EntangledLife is a wonderful exposition and meditation on the fungal way of being, and what an understanding of fungi reveals about how we understand concepts such as life, individuality, intelligence. https://www.merlinsheldrake.com/entangled-life

I have been reflecting on my most enjoyable reads of this year. They have been science/philosophy books that have opened my eyes to new ways of seeing and understanding the world: #EntangledLife by @MerlinSheldrake , and #TheHumanCosmos by @JoMarchant . Both highly recommended!
