What customers say

Conversation is at the heart of Fungus Books. Ed is my friend but I have watched many enter and be offered the same energy, friend or stranger, regardless if they are beelining to an Anti Cimex 7” or casually exploring the shelves.

★★★★★ — Cole, 2023-02

This is a rare kind of place. Excellently curated selection of books and records you're not likely to find anywhere else. Highly, highly recommended!

★★★★★ — Kyle, 2022-02

Awesome shop, great selection and staff- great selection of books from design, sciences, culture to the esoteric. Music and art too! A rare collection and real contribution to the community! They buy books etc. and are easy to work with. New 5$ shelf is worth checking out.

★★★★★ — David, 2022-08

Lots of interesting books and a small but awesome rack of some rare jazz and esoteric rock / ambient records. Highly recommended if your interests lie somewhere outside of the mainstream.
