What is your favourite thing about fungi?

“I love fungi for their flair to be dramatic! They are the whimsical wizards of the microbial world - unpredictable, never boring, and super adaptable. They have the ability to conquer any environment with their spore-tacular (read spectacular) finesse. Always keeping us on our toes in the lab, they make awesome colleagues to work with.”
