Episode description
It's so exciting! A super rare fungi was discovered in our northern neck of the woods (literally) here in BC.
Near Huble Homestead, a historical site about 40 km north of Prince George in Northern BC, someone spotted a very strange looking fungi (see episode photo) and it turns out that it's never been documented to have existed in the entire province of British Columbia.
Needless to say, this has been a very exciting week for botanists and mycological nerds.
Listen to my interview with UBC's Botany Professor Dr. Mary Berbee for CICK News about what this discovery means for our old growth forests in BC.
