This collection started out very strong and there are some fantastic stories in it with ideas such as a fungi submarine and a house haunted by fungi although I was a bit let down at the very end which was a poem rather than a short story and I felt that it wasn’t the best way to end such a great collection. It’s a brilliant idea for a short story collection as there are so many interesting ways you can explore fungal fiction. I really enjoy Jeff Vandermeer’s weird fiction, especially that involving mushrooms, and so when I discovered an entire anthology based on Fungi I was incredibly intrigued. Pugmire, Lavie Tidhar, Ann K.Schwader, Jesse Bullington, Molly Tanzer and Simon Strantzas through a dizzying journey of fungal tales. Join authors such as Jeff VanderMeer, Laird Barron, Nick Mamatas, W.H. Stories range from noir to dark fantasy, from steampunk to body horror. In this new anthology, writers reach into the rich territory first explored by William Hope Hodgson a century ago: the land of the fungi. A collection of fungal wonders…and terrors.
