The history of mushrooms is millions of years long, and they are incredibly mysterious living beings. They are neither plants nor animals. So how do they live and what secrets do they hide? Discover everything you need to know about mushrooms' existence, from what they are made of to how they are born and grow, and from how they defend themselves to how they communicate. Everything you need to know about mushrooms is packed into this handy guide written by expert authors in mycology and biodiversity & evolution, perfect for autumn and fungi enthusiasts.

This book provides basic knowledge about both the vital functions of trees in a larger context, as well as, the structural characteristics of their many parts. Children will discover how trees are born, eat, drink, breathe and sleep; how they defend themselves; how they sometimes attack; how they reproduce; and even, in some incredible cases, how they move! Young readers will also be invited to reflect on how trees and humans can coexist.
