A fun, science-based introduction to poisonous mushrooms-perfect for curious kids and families!
From the mind of a toxicologist who treats real mushroom poisonings alongside doctors and poison centers comes Poisonous Fungus Amongus-a playful, rhyming children's book for children of all ages that explores the fascinating (and sometimes dangerous) world of mushrooms.
This beautifully illustrated book introduces young readers to poisonous mushrooms, edible mushrooms that can still make you sick, and dangerous look-alikes, all through engaging rhyme and clear, age-appropriate explanations. It's an ideal STEM and nature education book for kids who love the outdoors, science, and discovery.
What's inside:
Real mushrooms, real science
Every mushroom shown in this book is a real species photographed by mycology experts, including renowned mushroom photographer Tavis Lynch. Each mushroom depicted is genuinely poisonous-unless it is clearly presented as a look-alike.
With rhythm, rhyme, and scientific accuracy, Poisonous Fungus Amongus helps kids learn how to observe mushrooms safely, encouraging curiosity while reinforcing caution.
✨ Perfect for:
Poisonous Fungus Amongus is not a field guide-it's a fun, educational adventure that teaches kids to respect mushrooms, ask questions, and stay safe while exploring the natural world.
