With the help of local #mushroom enthusiasts, Fungi Foundation rediscovers species lost to science for 36 years https://www.rewild.org/press/first-ever-lost-fungi-species-found

"The #BigPumaFungus, an enigmatic species of #fungi that lives underground in #Chile’s #Nahuelbuta Mountains had only ever been found once in the 1980s, until it was recently rediscovered... These discoveries are often collaborative efforts between #scientists and local communities... it’s likely only 10% of species in the fungi kingdom have been described"
