“Not only would I dub this anthology ‘highly recommended’, I would even go so far as to say it’s my pick for best original anthology of the year.” - Arkham Digest

“For fungus lovers and those with an interest in deeply imaginative short fiction, this anthology proves worth consideration.” - The Crow’s Caw
