Books
The hidden role of fungi inside and all around us. From beneficial yeasts that aid digestion to toxic molds that cause disease, we are constantly navigating a world filled with fungi. 'Molds, Mushrooms, and Medicines' explores the amazing ways fungi interact with our bodies, showing how our health and well-being depend on an immense ecosystem of yeasts and molds inside and all around us. Nicholas Money takes readers on a guided tour of a marvelous unseen realm, describing how our immune systems are engaged in continuous conversation with the teeming mycobiome inside the body, and how we can fall prey to serious and even life-threatening infections when this peaceful coexistence is disturbed.
