The overnight appearance of mushrooms in a meadow or on a suburban lawn is a marvelous sight. It is one of many awe-inspiring, magical processes that have evolved among the fungi, yet this group remains the least studied and most poorly understood kingdom of organisms. In the video below, internationally renowned mushroom expert Nicholas Money talks us through the strange beauty — and strange sex lives — of mushrooms. You can’t call yourself a mycophile until you’ve watched this!
