![]() There are Fungus Amongus Two weeks ago our area was lucky to get a good dose of rain. As a result, there are many mushrooms appearing around campus. Here we have a few boletes. Fungi show themselves to us as mushrooms, or the fruiting body. This is only a small fraction of the fungus organism. The underground hyphae can expand over many acres of land! ![]()
