Humongous fungus / written by Lynne Boddy ; illustrated by Wenjia Tang.
"Beneath the forest floor, drifting through the air, and growing inside other living things, fungi are everywhere. Fungi break down waste and help plants and animals grow, but they can also destroy buildings and turn ants into zombies! From tiny microbes to the largest living thing, this is a world of strange shapes, magical colors, and fascinating science..."-- Back cover.
