Rating: Summary: The Fungus will grow on you. Review: Jane Wilson is a mycologist (study of fungus) who is trying to solve world hunger by developing an oversized, protein rich mushroom. Unfortunately for the rest of London, they find out what messing with nature can do.There are over 100,000 varieties of fungus know to man, and thanks to Jane, they are all spreading out of control. Brilliant colors of soft molds are covering almost everything. Nothing is safe, buildings, paper, electronics, animals, and humans. Jane's husband is "volunteered" by the British military to find is wife's notes, so they can find a cure. Barry Wilson, is a former mycologist himself, and currently writes detective novels. He is coupled with Terenced Slocock, a crazed military Sergeant, and Kimberly Fairchild, a tropical mycologist. These three people are the last chance Britain has, before the world makes good on their threat of a "nuclear" fix to the problem. This book is a very entertaining read. I find it quite unfortunate that it is out of print. If you can find a used copy someplace, it is worth the few bucks to add it to your collection. It was also previously release as a paperback call "Death Spore".
