Summary

Born in the oceans possibly 2.4 billion years ago, fungi can be parasites, symbiotic partners or recyclers. Without them, plant debris would accumulate all over the planet, carbon dioxide would disappear from the atmosphere and life would cease to exist. Indispensable to humans for bread, beer or penicillin, for example, they are now the focus of study by human health researchers and for the development of second generation fuels. It is this fabulous odyssey as well as the most recent scientific discoveries that the authors describe in this book that will seduce readers ranging from simple mushroom pickers to experienced mycologists.

L’amadouvier a-t-il servi à maîtriser le feu pendant la préhistoire ? ● La manne de la Bible était-elle un champignon ? ● Des levures utiles ● Des moisissures utiles ● Des champignons qui se cultivent ● Des champignons rebelles à la culture ● De nouveaux carburants grâce aux champignons ? ● Des champignons dévoreurs de plastique ?

Des champignons et des Hommes : menaces réciproques

Menaces sur la flore fongique ● Des espèces qu’il faut craindre

Conclusions : un monde fascinant aux multiples facettes

Ce livre fut pour moi une sérieuse remise à jour de mes connaissances et souvent une vraie découverte. Un livre à la fois facile à lire et scientifiquement très précis, bien au-delà de la simple vulgarisation. J'hésitais à l'acheter, je ne regrette pas mon choix. Un ouvrage de qualité.
