Fungi finding: mushroom hunters seek new species and recognition

Participants Chris Medary (L) and Oscar Hammer carefully handle an Amanita mushroom they found during a fungi biodiversity survey near Port Angeles, Washington, on October 17, 2024.

So far less than six percent of mushrooms have been classified. The recognition of the importance of fungi in the earth痴 health and ecology has grown, so much so that the role of mushrooms is set to come up for discussion at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity COP16 meeting in Colombia, which kicks off on October 21, 2024.
