{"product_id":"mushrooms-4","title":"Mushrooms","description":"\u003cp\u003eMushrooms are one of our planet’s most amazing and unusual organisms. Used for millennia as a source of food, medicine, and occasionally poison, mushrooms and toadstools have become part of our cultural histories: for example, a ring of mushrooms was believed to be a magnet for fairies to come out to dance, while in Greek mythology, mushrooms were said to originate from Zeus’s lightning because they appeared after rainstorms. \u003cem\u003eMushrooms\u003c\/em\u003e is a photographic guide to the world’s major species of fungi, from the familiar porcini mushroom, prized for its meaty texture and nutty taste, to the vivid hues of the red-and-white spotted fly agaric, known to cause psychotic reactions if eaten, and the well-named Jelly Ears, its large tan-brown fleshiness found growing on tree branches. Illustrated with 300 photographs and including dimensions and characteristics for each entry, \u003cem\u003eMushrooms\u003c\/em\u003e offers a vivid pictorial introduction to fungi for foragers, cooks and all those interested in mycology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57400918638974,"sku":"NW9781838864392","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781838864392.jpg?v=1778631691","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/mushrooms-4","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
