Keith Seifert’s first book for a general audience, The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi, takes readers on an fantastic voyage through the world of microscopic fungi. We rarely notice these tiny organisms, but they are all around us, affecting our world in surprising ways. The stories in this book show their positive and negative effects on our forests, farms, food and drink, homes, bodies and human economic activities.
Keith was born in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada and studied biology in Saskatchewan, British Columbia and the Netherlands. He spent his career as a Research Scientist for Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada in Ottawa as a mycologist specializing in the identification and classification of microscopic fungi that produce toxins in crops and foods. His academic publications include more than 250 scientific papers and six books. From 2014-2018, he was the President of the International Mycological Association and an executive editor of the scientific journal Mycologia.
As a writer, Keith combines humour and philosophy to explore the interactions between science, the humanities, history and society. He has published fiction, poetry, and articles in blogs and literary and scientific journals.
