mushrooms in the news
Today I learned that warming in northern forests kills off the mushrooms, which then stop releasing CO2, so to the extent that mushrooms can counteract global warming, mushrooms will save us. In other mushroom-related news, treating maple wood in some unspecified way with a kind of mushroom that grows on tree bark gives the wood the characteristics found in Stradivarius instruments. The resulting violin apparently sounded good, but, maybe because I found the article on a nerd site, there were no glowing reviews.
So upon review, mushrooms may be today's theme, but they aren't all that promising as blog fodder.

We have one of the nation's foremost mushroom experts here at UH Hilo, Don Hemmes. He's one of the university's greatest treasures and has made believers of us all on the importance of the fungi! If you Google "Susan Collins Hilo" the first link that pops up is a story I wrote on him years ago, one of my favorites ever.
