A fireside read?

As the nights draw in, a good book is vital.  The Guardian Weekend's Review has come up with another that's right on time: Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape our Futures, by Merlin (bird or wizard, I wonder?) Sheldrake.

​'Prince, Tom Waits and a prisoner ant pop up in a fascinating book about how fungi form our world.' writes reviewer Tom Kerridge.

​It so happens that Abby's wonderful bird photos are shortly to be replaced with fungi - just to remind us that this is the time to look down rather than up for nature's wonders, like this bracket fungus on a tree on the Ackling Dyke near the Vitrell Gate.  If you have a photo of fungi you'd like to share, do send them to tisnathist@gmail.com and go to our Reading List page for other ideas for the fireside.
