Botany One Witty and highly readable... When it comes to writing about fungi, Nik Money truly is the ultimate fun guide!

Steve Craggs, Northern Echo Informative and fascinating

The Victoria Welch Science blog Nicholas Money's Fungi: A Very Short Introduction just brims with passion for its subject. I read once that the perfect candidate for any professional job interview is one who exudes "cool professionalism, with sparkle". Nicholas Money's book on Fungi is the paper version of that ideal.
