Fungus Books & Records opened a brick and mortar location – focusing on “rare, new, & used books, records, printed matter” – in Regent Square/Wilkinsburg in October of last year… and for some reason (uh, not getting out much these days) it just recently popped up on our radar!
Fungus Books & Records
Winter hours: Saturday 10-5, Sun 11-3.
700 & 1/2 South Trenton Avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15221.
Rare & used books, new titles, records, ephemera, printed matter.

From a Next Pittsburgh article on the shop: “It’s a bit all over the place, but, generally, art, fiction, poetry, small press titles, weird stuff, books on film, books on plants, horror and weird fiction, science fiction, old pulps, strange little pamphlets, books on music, counterculture titles, and anything that fits into this shared realm of interesting books.”
Thanks to Laurel & The Books on Instagram for posting about Fungus – this store looks completely up our alley and we can’t wait to check it out! If you stop by & post about it, tag @Littsburgh in your posts so we can share them and help spread the word.
