Summary
Molds, Mushrooms, and Medicines explores the important role fungi play in our lives. From helpful yeasts that aid digestion to harmful molds that cause illness, fungi are everywhere, affecting our health.
Nicholas Money explains how fungi inside our bodies help our immune system and how problems can arise when this balance is disturbed. He also looks at our relationship with fungi outside the body, including edible mushrooms and their use in treating depression.
This book shows how fungi support ecosystems and how they’re being used in medicine.
