Nature Moments: Fungi, the Original Recyclers

Check out the latest installment from Bowdoin professor and Maine Audubon board member Nat Wheelwright. As if we needed more evidence that he was a “fun guy”…

If it weren’t for fungi, dead trees might not decompose and nutrients would be locked up, unavailable for other plants and animals to use. You can easily find (and make art with) wood-rotting bracket fungi even in winter.

Nature Moments are filmed with the help of Wilder Nicholson, Rebecca Goldfine, Tom Porter, Paul Benham and Genie Wheelwright.
