      We have been swinging between drought and floods these past few years. We have been really fortunate this year (so far) in that we have had lots of rain and milder temperatures. Posted 5 years ago

    I have never seen them and they might not occur in Australia . I just checked and found that Craterellus cornucopioides does occur in southern Australia. So now I will look for them. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

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
