Fungal Fantasia
A fricassee of stories and recipes that explore mushrooms as myth, medicine, and muse
The Gourmand’s Mushroom. A Collection of Stories & Recipes is a feast of content on the most mysterious, influential, and quietly radical ingredients on Earth. Revered as food, medicine, sacrament, and symbol, mushrooms appear suddenly and vanish just as fast, leaving an unmistakable cultural and culinary aftertaste.
This richly layered collection brings together The Gourmand’s signature blend of culinary craft and cultural inquiry. Paired with photography that celebrates mycological marvels as sculpture, pattern, and form, readers will enjoy essays ranging from ancient folklore and toxicology to avant-garde art, architecture, fashion, film, and space travel. Encounter Bosch and Beatrix Potter, María Sabina and the CIA, Yayoi Kusama, and Takashi Murakami. Savor cartoon mushrooms, fairy rings, death caps, fly agaric, and the enduring allure of the enchanted lingzhi. Trace fungi’s strange power to inspire devotion, fear, obsession, and delight.
