By the Book: On Mushrooms and Mourning

The Way Through the Woods: On Mushrooms and Mourning is many things: an account of grief after the loss of a spouse, an introduction to the joy of mushrooms and mushrooming, as well as a story of healing. We speak to Long Litt Woon about writing this deeply personal, moving and unusual first book, and what it's like to be and become a mushroom person.
