Mushrooms are a familiar sight in nature, but they are just the temporary outgrowths of a hidden, weblike network of microscopic threads called mycelia.

Whether as mutuals, saprobes, or parasites, fungi are critical to global ecosystem function. The Underground Atlas of Fungi brings together a world-class team of experts to explore a wide range of environments—from forests and deserts to the poles and under the sea—to reveal how these crucially important systems work.
