This July, Australia goes on a fungi hunt. In this episode, Dani sits down with Dr Michael Priest, president of Fungimap, to explore the hidden kingdom beneath our feet.
With an estimated 50,000 fungal species across Australia, and only 10% of them named. Michael explains why the Great Aussie Fungi Hunt needs citizen scientists more than ever.
From mycorrhizal partnerships and the "wood wide web" to introduced species threatening native fungi and the truffle-dependent diet of the potoroo, this conversation is a crash course in why fungi matter and how anyone with a phone camera can help map them.
Tune in to learn how to get involved, what to photograph, and why you really shouldn't eat what you find.
