Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for permission to read this work prior to its publication date. "How to Win Friends and Influence Fungi" is a collection of essays from researchers that share their awesome discoveries on "Nerd Nite" A presentation-based show that tows cities bringing STEM to people in relatable ways. That is exactly what these essays do- I really felt like the pieces were approachable and enjoyed reading them. Though I did love them and it is a great read, you might many of the essays have sexual themes, so be mindful of that if you're planning to gift this to a teen.
