TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT NATIVE FUNG

摘要

Fungi suffer from a bad press: to gardeners they cause diseases such as rusts and mildews, while dreaded Armillaria (honey fungus) can kill mature trees outright. Once considered plants, fungi were reclassifed as a separate kingdom, alongside those of plants and animals, in the 1960s. Molecular studies suggest that fungi are actually closer to animals than plants.
