  • The largest organism in the world is a mushroom that is over 1,000 years old, covering hundreds of acres in a forest in Oregon USA. All plants on Earth relay on fungi to live, and fungi out number plants six to one. Kew has the largest collection of dried fungi in the world, around 1.25 million specimens.

    This video does a beautiful job of talking about the importance of research collections in a way that is so thoughtful! I'll never think about fungi in the same way. What a remarkable planet we live on.

    I always wanted to study fungi but all I could afford was a camera, so I take pictures...

    A beautiful film about a fascinating organism: Funghi, and the varied crew who study them at Kew. I thought I glimpsed some Psilocybe Semilanceata at 2:05, but on pausing and reading (I am not expert!), I think they are instead, some kind of Coprinus. A mistake I myself almost made once, although of course I was only interested in them for the purposes of "microscopy". Hehe.

    Southern Illinois is blossoming with mushrooms I've never seen in my lifetime, thanks to Tropical Depression BILL! :-)
