Fungi, Spectrum series Vol. 2

von Vermeulen, Frans 

Kurzbeschreibung:

Information from the cover/Publisher:
The Materia Medica of Fungi is as elusive and mysterious as the fungi themselves. The repertories list 72 fungi, of which 27 have less than 20 symptoms; 40 exist in name only, and perhaps 13 might appear in a repertorization. Our knowledge, themes and signatures have to date come from the alphabet of Agaricus, Bovista and Claviceps [Secale].

In The Hollow Men T. S. Eliot wrote:

Between the idea
And the reality,
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow

This is where we find the fungi. They are the critical link in the biological cycle of life and death. They exist in the penumbra, of our fields and forests; our homes and rafters; our literature and folklore; our medicines and drugs; our fridges and foodstores; our living and dying.
