Review of Fantastic Fungi (2019) by Asclepius — 22 Feb 2020

Mycology is interesting in itself, and I went in expecting this to be an informative, in-depth look at fungi. It was not that. It was more focused on humanity's relationship with fungi, specifically around the potentially healing effects of the "magic mushroom" for people who suffer from various psychological maladies. On this topic, I feel it tarried too long, as if the intent was to reignite a conversation on psychotropics currently regulated by the federal government.

What it does in this regard, it does well. I simply would have preferred more time with the mushrooms out in the woods.
