Am currently reading Sheldrake's book, Entangled Life. Highly recommend it link Came across it because I've always enjoyed mushroom spotting in the nearby forests, and decided to explore them in greater detail. Listened to a great talk by Paul Stamets on Jo Rogan's show ▶ this video Decided to look for a book to read, and Sheldrake's book popped up. So much of it has been fascinating, and it's a very easy read, too. It's incredible how these organisms raise so many questions about life, from panspermia to questions about individuality. Well worth a read!

For those interested in learning more about Stamets and his fungal endeavors, I recommend listening/watching the JRE episode with him ( ▶ this video ) as well as the Tim Ferris Show episode ( link ). Fascinating individual.
