Details

Over 80 species of fungi glow in the dark

The world’s oldest mushroom is 810 million years old

Bigger than a blue whale, the largest organism of any type in the world is the 2,384-acre Armillaria mushroom in Oregon

Mushrooms are one of the world’s most sustainably produced food sources, requiring minimal space, energy, and water

With imaginative names such as Witches' Butter and Jelly Ear, Chicken of the Woods and Beefsteak, mushrooms have been at the heart of medicine, folklore, cookery, and science throughout history and across cultures. Foragers, artists, scientists, healers, and chefs have been drawn to mushrooms for their implausible aesthetics, incredible healing abilities, mind-altering power, versatile flavour, and magical potential.
