5 Minutes of Fungi

For our UKFD 2020 Online Special - we contacted some of the UK’s finest mycologists and asked them to share 5 minutes of fungi with us all. With nothing but a phone in hand, could they offer us a little insight into an area of fungi that really makes them tick? These are the results!
