The Kingdom Fungi includes some of the most ecologically and economically valuable organisms on Earth! They decompose organic material, cycle nutrients through the ecosystem, are symbiotic with many plant species, cause disease, and provide medicinal drugs and food. They are beautiful, weird, and remarkable organisms!

Here are a few fungal treasures-- all shared on JungleDragon this week(!!) by moderator, Lisa Kimmerling! #JungleDragon #Fungi #Mushroom
