The world's most elusive #orchid lives underground in #Australia. Scientists are trying to rescue it from going completely extinct https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250925-the-race-to-save-the-worlds-rarest-orchid
"It flowers, grows, germinates, and sets seed totally underground, and is pollinated by #termites. The orchid is able to survive underground thanks to an intricate 3-way alliance: it connects to an above-ground #Melaleuca bush through #fungi. The connecting #fungus transfers nutrients from the bush to the orchid."

I'm seeing fungus/mycelium-based materials in the news again as potentially green alternatives and it's time to remind people that "mushrooms build large underground networks of mycelium" is wrong. Correct* is "the large underground networks of mycelium occasionally grow some mushrooms". Writing the first is like if we couldn't usually see apple trees and wrote that "apples grow large wooden support structures".

Sous nos pieds se trouve un monde vaste et invisible, vital pour la vie sur Terre. Une nouvelle étude publiée dans Nature (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09277-4) a utilisé 2,8 milliards de séquences d'ADN pour cartographier la diversité mondiale des champignons mycorhiziens, et les résultats sont urgents.
Ces champignons forment des réseaux souterrains qui nourrissent les forêts, stockent le carbone et soutiennent plus de 80 % de la vie végétale. Pourtant, moins de 10 % de leurs points chauds de biodiversité sont protégés.
Il est temps de reconnaître les champignons comme des alliés essentiels pour la conservation et les solutions climatiques.

Ghosties! Ghost fungus, Omphalotus nidiformis.
Getting a bit late in the season, but I managed to find these two that were still glowing strongly.

Hike this morning, with a fair bit of bushwhacking following new streams and interesting colors. Efts were everywhere.
Let's start with some fungi.

I have never seen fuzzy fungi like this, but I hope to see it again!
