What's my secret? Google news alerts, mostly. And for the most part, what I get is
recipes, news of
people poisoning themselves, the use of the word
mushroom to depict rapid growth, news about
forays and foragers, articles about "
magic mushrooms" and information about kits for growing edibles. But
here's a link to an article from the BBC telling about what fungi do for us (Thanks, Mat!). I'm not sure I agree that Marmite is number 1, and they don't mention
mycorrhizas (except in the case of orchids), but here's a good quick list of reasons to study fungi. Maybe the top ten list is related to
this article and is meant to bait the hook for those considering a career in mycology?
