Product Information
A mind-bending journey into the hidden world of fungi that, like Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire and Ed Yong's I Contain Multitudes , will change your understanding of life on earth. When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet they make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that support and sustain nearly all living systems. Some fungi range for miles underground and are the largest organisms on the planet, others form networks that link trees together underground, known as the "Wood Wide Web." Their ability to digest rock and decompose wood allows them to make the soil in which plants grow. Fungi also play leading roles in human life: from yeasts that cause bread to rise and orchestrate the fermentation of sugar into alcohol, to psychedelic fungi, to the mold that produces penicillin and revolutionized modern medicine. Fungi can digest many stubborn and toxic pollutants from crude oil to polyurethane plastics and the explosive TNT, and are being deployed in breakthrough technologies to make sustainable building materials and wearable leather. Edible mushrooms can be grown on anything from coffee grounds to used cigarette butts. And the medicinal compounds produced by fungi can be used to fight diseases and relieve the colony collapse of bees. The more we learn about fungi, the less makes sense without them. Merlin Sheldrake's exploration of this astonishing kingdom of life reveals how fungi-and our relationships with them-are changing our understanding of how the world works. Bringing to light science's latest discoveries, he points us toward the fundamental questions that fungi provoke about the nature of life, intelligence, and identity.

Reviews
"Fungi are everywhere, and Merlin Sheldrake is an ideal guide to their mysteries. He's passionate, deeply knowledgeable, and a wonderful writer." --Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction "Entangled Life is a revelation. It is a radical, hopeful, and important book. I couldn't put it down. With elegance, wit, and clarity, Sheldrake engages us in the hidden world of fungi, a miraculous web of connections, interactions, and communication that changes the way we need to look at life, the planet, and ourselves." --Isabella Tree, author of Wilding "Sheldrake awakens the reader to a shapeshifting, mind-altering, animate world that not only surrounds us but intimately involves us as well. A joyful exploration of the most overlooked and enigmatic kingdom of life, and one that expanded my appreciation of what it means to be alive." --Peter Brannen, author of The Ends of the World "It is impossible to put this book down. Entangled Life provides a window into the mind-boggling biology and fascinating cultures surrounding fungal life. Sheldrake asks us to consider a life-form that is radically alien to ours, yet vibrant and lively underfoot." --Hans Ulrich Obrist, author of The Interview Project "One of those rare books that can truly change the way you see the world around you, Entangled Life is a mercurial, revelatory, impassioned, urgent, astounding, and necessary read. It's fearless in scope, analytically astute, and brimming with infectious joy." --Helen Macdonald, author of H Is for Hawk "Sheldrake's charm and curiosity make for a book that is delightful to read, but also grand and dizzying in how thoroughly it recalibrates our understanding of the natural world, and the often-overlooked organisms within it." -- Ed Yong, author of I Contain Multitudes "This engaging book shines light on the hidden fungal connections that link plants, trees, and us. I thought I knew a lot about fungi, but I found much that was new to me, and exciting. Sheldrake is a rare scientist who is not afraid to speculate about the truly profound implications of his work. A very good read." --Andrew Weil, author of Spontaneous Healing and Healthy Aging "True to his name, Merlin takes us on a magical journey deep into the roots of Nature--the mycelial universe that exists under every footstep we take in life. Merlin is an expert storyteller, weaving the tale of our co-evolution with fungi into a scientific adventure. Entangled Life is a must-read for citizen scientists hoping to make a positive difference on this sacred planet we share." --Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World "[A] delightfully granular debut . . . From bread to booze to the very fiber of life, the world turns on fungus, and Sheldrake provides a top-notch portrait." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review ), "I fell in love with this book. Merlin is a scientist with the imagination of a poet and a beautiful writer. . . . This is a book that, by virtue of the power of its writing, shifts your sense of the human. . . . It will inspire a generation to enter mycology." --Michael Pollan (Bay Area Book Festival, 2020) "Fungi are everywhere, and Merlin Sheldrake is an ideal guide to their mysteries. He's passionate, deeply knowledgeable, and a wonderful writer." --Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction "Sheldrake's charm and curiosity make for a book that is delightful to read but also grand and dizzying in how thoroughly it recalibrates our understanding of the natural world and the often overlooked organisms within it." --Ed Yong, author of I Contain Multitudes "True to his name, Merlin takes us on a magical journey deep into the roots of Nature--the mycelial universe that exists under every footstep we take in life. Merlin is an expert storyteller, weaving the tale of our co-evolution with fungi into a scientific adventure. Entangled Life is a must-read for citizen scientists hoping to make a positive difference on this sacred planet we share." --Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World "Reading this book, I felt surrounded by a web of wonder. The natural world is more fantastic than any fantasy, so long as you have the means to perceive it. This book provides the means." --Jaron Lanier, author of You Are Not a Gadget "This engaging book shines light on the hidden fungal connections that link plants, trees, and us. I thought I knew a lot about fungi, but I found much that was new to me, and exciting. Sheldrake is a rare scientist who is not afraid to speculate about the truly profound implications of his work.

A joyful exploration of the most overlooked and enigmatic kingdom of life, and one that expanded my appreciation of what it means to be alive." --Peter Brannen, author of The Ends of the World "Entangled Life is an exuberant introduction to the biology, ecology, climatology, and psychopharmacology of the earth's 'metabolic wizards.'" --Julian Lucas, Harpers "Nearly every page of this book contained either an observation so interesting or a turn of phrase so lovely that I was moved to slow down, stop, and reread. . . . This book rocked me into remembering that nature, especially fungal nature, is big and encompassing and creative and destructive. It reminded me that fungi are, like the Universe, sublime." --Rob Dunn, Science magazine, " Entangled Life is a dazzling, vibrant, vision-changing book. Sentence after sentence stopped me short. I ended it wonderstruck at the fungal world--the secrets of which modern science is only now beginning to fathom--and the earth-shaking, hierarchy-breaking implications of Sheldrake's argument. This is a remarkable work by a remarkable writer, which succeeds in springing life into strangeness again."-- Robert Macfarlane , author of Underland "Entangled Life is a revelation. It is a radical, hopeful and important book and I couldn't put it down. With elegance, wit and clarity Sheldrake engages us in the hidden world of fungi, a miraculous web of connections, interactions and communication that changes the way we need to look at life, the planet and ourselves." --Isabella Tree, author of Wilding "Sheldrake awakens the reader to a shapeshifting, mind-altering, animate world that not only surrounds us but intimately involves us as well. A joyful exploration of the most overlooked and enigmatic kingdom of life, and one that expanded my appreciation of what it means to be alive." --Peter Brannen, author of The Ends of the World "This is an adventurous and indeed daring book, opening several unfamiliar micro-domains in the organic life world and its multiple connections. There is much to be learned in this wide field, and this vivid, scrupulous guide points the way!" --J. H. Prynne, "Entangled Life is a revelation. It is a radical, hopeful, and important book.

Entangled Life provides a window into the mind-boggling biology and fascinating cultures surrounding fungal life. Much like a mycelial network, the book's tendrils extend into the deepest reaches of fungi's incredible properties, their histories, as well as their innumerable uses in materials, medicine, and ecology. Sheldrake asks us to consider a life-form that is radically alien to ours, yet vibrant and lively underfoot." --Hans Ulrich Obrist, author of The Interview Project " Entangled Life is a remarkable piece of work that manages to be at once scholarly and visionary and yet remains deeply engaging and enjoyable. Sheldrake provides a new and penetrating analysis of the fungal kingdom of life that will be a greatly enriching read for all students of the living world." --Dr. Ian Henderson, lecturer in plant sciences, University of Cambridge "This engaging book shines light on the hidden fungal connections that link plants, trees, and us.
