Northeast Nature | October | Why are mushrooms so important to a forest?

In this episode of But Why: Adventures, follow host Jane Lindholm and mycologist Meg Madden through the woods to explore the hidden world of mushrooms and fungi. They discuss different mushroom species often found in the Northeast, including giant puffballs, yellow discos, and amanita muscaria. And they help break down (mushroom joke!) the ways mushrooms act as forest composters and also the important ways they interact with other organisms around them.
