Watercolors and digital paints in every hue under the stormy sky are used to tell the story of an underappreciated forest dweller: mushrooms. Dre Dreamy illustrations portray a variety of mushrooms with an eye for detail detail, and the titula titular “mushroom rain” is a stunning spread of star-speckled droplets splashed against a grayand-blush sky. The book provides educational information about varieties of mushrooms and the creatures that eat them, as well as activities for budding mycologists to have some fun with fungi.
