For anyone who has wondered, “Are There Mer-shrooms?”

Oh dang, maybe that should have been the title…

Terrestrial fungi are the ones that create the beautiful, delicious mushrooms we know and love, and their spores surround us in the air. But could there be a place for fungi under the water? In this episode, Izzie discusses what we know and don’t know about underwater fungi, and the role they play – for the ocean and for humanity – and sits down with Darlene Southworth to talk about a surprising fungus living in the swift current of the Rogue River.
