{"product_id":"2940154380833","title":"Mad About Mushrooms","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnlike my other books which include a little science behind my subjects, Mad About Mushrooms presents only the visual intrigue of fungi as they self present in the wilds. As I began shooting wildflowers I found that learning about flora was a natural outgrowth of those encounters. The same was true with insects and especially dragonflies for which I have an ardent passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut with mushrooms, for whatever reason, I never felt compelled to research their workings and function in nature. It was sufficient for me to enjoy their whimsical and sudden appearance in the forests. I allow them to enchant me minus the pleasure of learning about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo this book is light on instruction and high on visual intrigue among these natural curiosities known as mushrooms. As always, I use nothing more than a small pocket camera which permits instant and easy access to every conceivable shooting angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy objective is to present to my readers the diversity and beauty in the mushroom kingdom and perhaps to inspire a passion to take up the hobby of hunting and photographing them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David W Runyan II","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111452197104,"sku":"2940154380833","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154380833_p0.jpg?v=1764065996","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154380833","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
