真菌类亲密接触：寻找非凡的蘑菇

The secret world of fungi is another kingdom. They do things differently there. Diverse beyond our wildest imaginations, fungi don’t obey rules. They pop up unbidden and often dressed in curious reds and greens.

They do not seem of this world, yet fungi underpin all the life around us: the ‘wood wide web’ links the trees by a subterranean telegraph; fungi eat the fallen trunks and leaves to recycle the nutrients that keep the wood alive; they feed a host of beetles and flies, which in turn feed birds and bats. Fungi produce the most expensive foods in the world but also offer the prospect of cheap protein for all; they cure disease, and they both cause disease and kill; they are the specialists to surpass all others; their diversity thrills and bewilders.

Professor Richard Fortey has been a devoted field mycologist all his life. He has rejoiced in the exuberant variety and profusion of mushrooms since reading as a boy of nuns driven mad by ergot (a fungus). Drawing on decades of experience doing science in the woods and fields, Fortey starts with the perfect ‘fungus day’ – eating ceps in Piedmont. He introduces brown rotters and the white, earthstars and death caps; fungal annuals and perennials, dung lovers and parasites, even fungi that move through the trees like mycelial monkeys. We learn that the giant puffball produces more spores than there are known stars in the universe and fetid stinkhorns begin looking like arrivals from the planet Tharg. He tells of the fungus that turns flies into zombies, the ones that clean up metallic waste the delicious subterranean fungi truffe de Perigord, the delight of gourmets.

Amongst these and many other ‘close encounters’ of a fungal kind, the book attempts to answer the questions: what are fungi? Why did their means of reproduction escape discovery for so long? What role do they play in the development of life?

The vast kingdom of fungi is more diverse and species rich than plants or animals. Their glorious profusion has the starring role in this magical, deeply informed book which takes us from familiar places into strange worlds.

中文|2024年9月12日|ISBN:000863968X|336页|True EPUB | 33.75 MB真菌的秘密世界是另一个王国。他们在那里做的事情不同。真菌的多样性超出了我们最疯狂的想象，它们不遵守规则。他们不请自来，经常穿着奇怪的红色和绿色。 它们似乎不属于这个世界，但真菌支撑着我们周围的所有生命：“木网”通过地下电报将树木连接起来；真菌吃掉倒下的树干和树叶，以回收维持木材生命的营养物质；它们喂养大量的甲虫和苍蝇，反过来又喂养鸟类和蝙蝠。真菌生产世界上最昂贵的食物，但也为所有人提供了廉价蛋白质的前景；它们既能治愈疾病，也能导致疾病和死亡；他们是超越一切的专家；他们的多样性令人兴奋和困惑。 Richard Fortey教授一生都是一位敬业的野外真菌学家。自从小时候读到被麦角菌（一种真菌）逼疯的修女故事以来，他就为蘑菇的丰富多样而感到高兴。凭借数十年在森林和田野中进行科学研究的经验，Fortey从皮埃蒙特完美的“真菌日”开始——吃仙人掌。他介绍了棕色的腐烂物和白色的地球星和死亡帽；真菌一年生和多年生植物、爱粪动物和寄生虫，甚至像菌丝猴一样在树上移动的真菌。我们了解到，这种巨大的河豚产生的孢子比宇宙中已知的恒星还要多，而且恶臭的臭角开始看起来像是从塔尔地球来的。 在这些和许多其他真菌类的“亲密接触”中，这本书试图回答以下问题：什么是真菌？为什么它们的繁殖方式这么长时间没有被发现？它们在生命的发展中扮演什么角色？ 庞大的真菌王国比植物或动物更加多样化，物种丰富。他们辉煌的丰盈在这本神奇而内容丰富的书中扮演了主角，这本书将我们从熟悉的地方带到了陌生的世界。
