Mushroom Magic: Rediscovering the Big Puma Fungus

Fungi aren’t plants or animals but belong to their own amazing kingdom with unique cellular structures and reproduction styles. This makes them super cool and ultra unique.

In this special edition of Conservation Calls, we join the team from Fungi Foundation in Chile as they set out to rediscover the Big Puma Fungus, an incredibly fascinating, quirky, and one-of-a-kind species. Their expedition followed in the footsteps of mycologist Norberto Garrido, exactly 40 yearsafter he first stumbled upon this extraordinary fungus.
