From the Back Cover

"Hudler's light-hearted approach to the subject of the impact of fungi on human history is refreshing and will attract students and lay people who have some interest in this area. Better yet, it will entice readers who were not concerned with this topic at all before delving into the book. . . . is to be commended for discovering some extremely exciting information, some of it little known even to mycologists."--James W. Kimbrough, University of Florida
