And Mia's disappearance broke her parents' already fragile marriage. Unable to solve her own daughter's case, Nora lost herself in her work as a homicide detective. Jack became a shell of a man, his promising career as a biologist crumbling alongside the meteor strikes that altered weather patterns and caused a massive drought. It isn't until five years later that the rains finally return to nourish Seattle. In this period of sudden growth, Jack uncovers evidence of a new parasitic fungus, while Nora investigates several brutal, ritualistic murders. Soon they will be drawn together by a horrifying connection between their discoveries-partnering to fight a deadly contagion as well as the government forces that know the truth about the fate of their daughter. Award-winning author Benjamin Percy delivers both a gripping science fiction thriller and a dazzling examination of a planet-and a marriage-that have broken.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3234375</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3234375</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Percy, Benjamin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3234375133</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780358578451/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi]]></title><description><![CDATA["The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi traces the intricate connections between fungi and all life on Earth to show how these remarkable microbes enrich our lives: from releasing the carbon in plants for the benefit of all organisms to transmitting information between trees, to producing life-changing medicine, to adding umami flavor and B vitamins to our food. Divided into sections, each one exploring an environment where fungi live, this enthralling, science-backed book ventures into our homes, bodies, farms, and forests to profile the fungi that inhabit these environments, most of them invisible to the naked eye. Along the way, the author, the esteemed career mycologist Keith Seifert, explains the latest research into where these fungi came from: how yeast, lichens, slimes, and molds evolved and adapted over millions of years. And he shows us that, surprisingly, fungi share almost a quarter of human genes. We may have more in common with yeast and slime than we think ... But not all fungi are good for us. In fact, fungal diseases lead to over 1 million deaths each year and more than a quarter of our food goes to waste. How can we strike a better balance with our microbial cousins, both for their sake and ours? The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi urges us to better understand our relationship with fungi--and to plan our future with them in mind--while revealing their world in all its beautiful complexity."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3159581</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3159581</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Seifert, Keith A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3159581133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Exploring the Microscopic World in Our Forests, Homes, and Bodies</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771646628/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Moves the Dead]]></title><description><![CDATA["The audiobook narrated by Avi Roque is delightful." - Buzzfeed  "Narrator Avi Roque delivers a perfectly paced performance in this concise audiobook...holding listeners hostage until the house reveals its terrifying secrets." -AudioFile Magazine  From T.

Welcome to this astonishing world …  Fungi can appear anywhere, from desert dunes to frozen tundra. They can invade our bodies and live between our toes or our floorboards. They are unwelcome intruders or vastly expensive treats, and symbols of both death and eternal life. But despite their familiar presence, there's still much to learn about the eruption, growth, and decay of their secret, interconnected world.  Aliya Whiteley has always been in love with fungi-from her childhood taking blurry photographs of strange fungal eruptions on Exmoor to a career as a writer inspired by their surreal and alien beauty. This love for fungi is a love for life, from single-cell spores to the largest living organism on the planet; a story stretching from Aliya's lawn into orbit and back again via every continent.  From fields, feasts, and fairy rings to death caps, puffballs, and ambrosia beetles, this is an intoxicating journey into the life of an extraordinary organism, one that we have barely begun to understand.  "Alison Larkin's narration of this ode to all things mushroom reflects the author's love of fungi….Larkin has as much fun describing how to cook a favorite mushroom dish as she does reminding listeners that penicillin has saved millions of lives. She maintains the author's jazzed energy…[for] a deliciously fun listen."  "Presents a feast of fungi, benign and malign…Whiteley's charming, informative survey of fungus reveals many little-known facts about a vast array of species."  "Whiteley ruminates whimsically on her experiences foraging, cooking, and researching mushrooms…Her talents come to bear when describing the shape, smell, and taste of various fungi…Nature lovers will enjoy this compendium of trivia and musings.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3154111</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3154111</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Whiteley, Aliya]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3154111133</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Discoveries From A Hidden World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798200798735/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Funky Fungi]]></title><description><![CDATA["Fungi are everywhere!

And yeah, some have even sampled their more exotic possibilities and asked the question: “Do mushrooms come from a far away planet?” Still, others have asked: “Can mushrooms save the planet?” The world of fungi and their integral relationship with the health of the planet have only recently been appreciated. The oldest and largest living organisms recorded on Earth are both fungi. And their use by a new, maverick breed of scientists and thinkers has proven vital in the cleansing of sites despoiled by toxins and as a “clean” pesticide among many other environmentally-friendly applications. Inspired by a chance conversation with fellow filmmaker and mushroom buff Jim Jarmusch, Mann set off to the annual Telluride Mushroom Festival in Colorado. It was there he encountered the unique sub-sub-subculture surrounding fungi that includes an unlikely assortment of nerds, nuts, hipsters, tripsters, artists, chefs, musicians, foodies, foragers, and seekers all paying homage to the mighty mushroom. Know Your Mushrooms follows uber myco visionaries Gary Lincoff and Larry Evans (two of the more expert and unforgettably mercurial characters in the community) as they lead us on a hunt for the wild mushroom and the deeper cultural experiences attached to the mysterious fungi. Combining material filmed at the Telluride Mushroom Fest with animation and archival footage along with a neo-psychedelic soundtrack by the Flaming Lips, KNOW YOUR MUSHROOMS opens the doors to perception, takes the audience on a longer, stranger trip and delivers them to a brave new world where the fungi might well guide humanity to a saner, safer place… with extra cheese…Consumer Warning: Don’t Go Into The Forest Without This Movie!]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3057134</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3057134</guid><category><![CDATA[VIDEO_ONLINE]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3057134133</comments><format>VIDEO_ONLINE</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plants, Algae, and Fungi]]></title><description><![CDATA[Presents information on the life cycle, cellular structure, diversity, cultivation, production, and species of fungi, algea, and plants, using illustrations and photographs.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3374502</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3374502</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3374502133</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781615358243/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mycophilia]]></title><description><![CDATA[A scientific and cultural exploration of one of one of the most provocative and sought-after foods on earth examines the role of fungi as exotic delicacy, curative, poison, and hallucinogen.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1706180</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1706180</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bone, Eugenia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1706180133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Revelations From the Weird World of Mushrooms</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781605294070/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know your Mushrooms]]></title><description><![CDATA[Ron Mann investigates the miraculous, near-secret world of fungi.

The oldest and largest living organisms recorded on Earth are both fungi. And their use by a new, maverick breed of scientists and thinkers has proven vital in the cleansing of sites despoiled by toxins and as a "clean" pesticide, among many other environmentally friendly applications.

The science goes like this: fine filaments of cells called mycelium, the fruit of which are mushrooms, already cover large areas of land around the world. As the mycelium grows, it breaks down plant and animal debris, recycling carbon, nitrogen, and other elements in the creation of rich new soil. What Stamets shows is that the enzymes and acids that mycelium produces to decompose this debris are superb at breaking apart hydrocarbons--the base of many pollutants. Stamets discusses the various branches of this exciting new technology, including mycorestoration (biotransforming stripped land), mycofiltration (creating habitat buffers), myco-remediation (healing chemically harmed environments), and mycoforestry (creating truly sustainable forests)--From publisher description.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C2083660</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C2083660</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stamets, Paul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2083660133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781580085793/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mycological Bulletin]]></title><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3004161</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3004161</guid><category><![CDATA[EJ]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3004161133</comments><format>EJ</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=&amp;issn=23265027/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=&amp;upc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Journal of Mycology]]></title><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3004130</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3004130</guid><category><![CDATA[EJ]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3004130133</comments><format>EJ</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=&amp;issn=23265019/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=&amp;upc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
