Ariel's Mushroom Co.
Ariel's first book was named a finalist in the Foreword INDIE Best Book Awards in the Nonfiction Juvenile category!
"A perfect guide for beginners, Mushrooms & Fungi for Kids starts with an introduction to the kingdom of Fungi. Then it guides readers through the shapes, colors, and forms of mushrooms. The book further discusses mushrooms’ important role in the environment, their relationships with insects, and more. In the field-guide section, fungi are organized by shape and structure to help kids (and adults) start understanding the basics of the mushroom world. While this is not a guide to foraging, readers can gain a lifelong appreciation of mushrooms and fungi by learning to recognize the major groups of them."
