Within these pages, he ​puts the fun in fungi with his whimsical and inspired creations, beautifully posed and photographed. Accompanied by text revealing the world of mushrooms, white button, portabella, maitake, and king trumpets are transformed into people dancing, riding hot air balloons, tight-rope walking, exercising, and so much more.
