Thank you Irene and Lee! Because of this summer’s record-setting, hurricane-induced rains, The New York Botanical Garden has become a wonderland for resident mycologist Roy Halling. He first brought us these fairy tale Boletus hortonii, and on Friday, Halling joined Flora Lichtman on Science Friday to discuss the year’s mushrooming (heh) fungus population.

More information on this “animated” newly described fungus, here.
Who lives in a rainforest, under a tree?
Why, Spongiforma squarepantsii, of course. The newly-discovered species of fungi has more in common with the cartoon character than just a name, though - the fungi can be wrung out like a sponge and still retain its shape, a rarity among mushrooms.

"Lichen can often seem dull and uncharismatic, but these two species turned out to be quite intriguing. They’re like sugar gliders and flying squirrels or wombats and groundhogs. They’re fungal examples of convergent evolution."
