Mad about Mushrooms . . .

Sharing Hope Jahren's book, Lab Girl

I have recently had the supreme pleasure of reading Hope Jahren's Lab Girl.  What a surprise it was!  I was truly unprepared for the music of her words and for her unforgettable descriptions of the natural and unnatural worlds.  The beauty of her prose and her obvious love of all things charmed me in ways that no other author has done ... ever.  She is a powerful teacher, a person who enlightens, reveals and reassures.

Dear mushroomer, I found myself reading Chapter 3 and then reading it again and then yet again, for it reintroduced fungi to me in a way that heretofore I had not been privy to.  I am forever altered by the clarity of her observation.
