Knowledge Encyclopedia; Plants and Fungi! shows how plants and fungi form the foundations of every ecosystem, making our planet habitable.
Every page is packed with incredible facts and statistics. Did you know that the seeds of the Australian snottygobble plant don't grow until they've been pooed out by emus? Or that the world's oldest tree began growing before the pyramids were built? Or that the world's largest organism is a fungus the size of 1600 football fields? Or that some fungi can take over the brains of insects and turn them into zombies?
