A Mushroom Book for Kids!

“What good is a fungus?” asked Molly, disgusted. Molly hates mushrooms. When she learns that she is going to have to eat mushroom stew (yuck!) while spending the night at her friend’s house, she takes out her frustration on a couple of innocent fairy ring mushrooms before being greeted by a mysterious steward of the fungi named Brother Toadstool. Their strange guest leads the two friends on an adventure to discover the ways that fungi affect our environment, our health, and more. But will Molly learn to respect the fungus among us? Find out in A Toadstool’s Treasures!

Words of Praise for Curious About Cannabis

"Jason Wilson has done it! He has demystified cannabinoid science for an easy and accurate read and provides valuable and practical tips due to many ears of hands on work in the Cannabis industry. I highly recommend this book for consumers, budtenders, laboratory/production personnel, executives in the industry, and scientists wanting evidence-based information in the field of phytocannabinoids."

Kevin Spelman, PhD

"If anyone needs a Bible on the current state of Cannabis please pick up Jason Wilson's book Curious About Cannabis. If you are in the Cannabis industry and haven't read this book cover to cover you are doing your company and your career a disservice. Jason is no cookbook cannabis chemist, he interviews real scientists and medical professionals performing their craft in Cannabis and then uses his skill to tell their story as our story."
