Consider Fungarium by Ester Gaya.
“This reads like a cabinet-of-curiosities in book form: ornate, close-up plates and richly detailed art that showcase edible mushrooms, molds, and historically notable fungi. Its useful part is visual — it makes unfamiliar forms memorable and sparks curiosity for the natural world. The main limitation is depth: explanations stay introductory rather than getting technical, and the book favors aesthetic presentation over stepwise identification or lab-style detail. Best taken in short, image-led sittings rather than as a manual.”
