And our interactions with fungi are not limited to what happens in our bodies as we interact with these microbes via our diet and as a source of medicines. In short, there exists an incredible range of interactions between humans and fungi. In this book, Nicolas Money describes this relationship between fungi and humans in the context of our health. Readers learn how the field of mycology has been advancing, from studies that reveal the diversity of yeasts that grow on the skin to research on the use of psychedelic mushrooms in the treatment of depression. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on how fungi operate in our bodies from spores in the lungs to the yeasts and filaments that can infect our internal organs. In particular, Money focuses on the mycobiome, which is the fungal part of the larger microbiome, and explains what is and isn't known about the significance of fungi in the health of the gut. In the second half of the book, Money shifts his focus to our relationship with fungi outside the body, including in food, medicine, and agriculture -- and he pulls no punches when it comes to countering misguided notions when it comes to the medicinal powers of mushrooms. Throughout the book, Money explains how the human-fungi relationship is symbiotic, meaning that it is sometimes beneficial and sometimes harmful. Ultimately, the reader comes away with a broad understanding of what scientists are learning about the fascinating role of fungi inside and outside of our bodies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Also available online. 650 0 $a Fungi. 650 0 $a Materia medica, Vegetable. 650 0 $a Molds (Fungi) 650 12 $a Fungi. 650 12 $a Mycology. 650 12 $a Mycobiome.. 650 6 $a Champignons. 650 6 $a PhytotheÌrapie. 650 6 $a Moisissures. 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Life Sciences / Mycology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a NATURE / Plants / Mushrooms. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Fungi $2 fast 650 7 $a Materia medica, Vegetable $2 fast 650 7 $a Molds (Fungi) $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Money, Nicholas P. $t Molds, mushrooms, and medicines $d Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2024 $z 9780691236315 $w (DLC) 2023030613 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010229.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD555DDC1D8011EFA6667B3325ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
