What do you know about fungi? They might just run What do you know about fungi? They might just run the world. Rob Dunn shares his wealth of knowledge and research with us on our latest episode of Anthropomania. #mushrooms #fungi
Next time you take a sip of your favourite microbr Next time you take a sip of your favourite microbrew and tear off a chunk of baguette piled with cheese you might wanna toast to fungi.  Fungus really are among us. From high-priced morels to mold to the medicinal promise of magic mushrooms, fungi were here before us and they'll be here long after we're dust.   They could live without us, but could we live without them? Would we want to?  Listen to the story of a college kid who ran up against a shotgun wielding morel hunter in a forest in Northern Canada while on a quest to find the best patch of mushrooms. Find out what pricey mushroom smells like  sweat and semen, and hear a mycologist who thinks we have a lot to learn from listening to the lowly mushroom.  Link in bio https://link.chtbl.com/jGPJ7C17 #mushrooms #morels #foraging #fungi #nature #fantasticfungi #yeast #mycology

National Polar Bear Day. Polar bears live in 19 National Polar Bear Day. Polar bears live in 19 populations across the Arctic. About 60% live within or are shared by Canada. Polar bears are also found in the U.S. (Alaska), Russia, Greenland, and Norway (Svalbard). The IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group lists the polar bear as a vulnerable species, citing sea ice loss from climate change as the single biggest threat to their survival. In addition to climate warming, other challenges to the bears include increased commercial activities, conflicts with people, pollution, disease, inadequate habitat protection (of denning and seasonal resting areas), and the potential for over-harvest in smaller or declining polar bear populations. #cimatecrisis #polarbearday #polarbears #churchillmanitoba #endangeredspecies #animals
Consider the hippopotamus 🦛 on the occasion of Consider the hippopotamus 🦛 on the occasion of World Hippopotamus Day. Hippo Facts: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🦛 Hippos kill more people every year than lions, elephants, and buffaloes combined. 🦛 Their closest living relatives are whales and dolphins. 🦛 Hippos can’t jump. Hippos don’t jump because their vertebrae are fused together, making it impossible for them to bend their back like other mammals such as cats and dogs. If they tried jumping, they would cause severe damage to their backs and could even die! 🦛 They are considered the third largest land animal on Earth (behind elephants and rhino's) 🦛 The biggest threat to hippos is humans. Hippos are killed by humans for their meat, ivory tusks, and skin. They are also threatened by habitat loss and the illegal wildlife trade. 🦛 They sweat an oily red liquid which helps protect their skin from drying out – and acts as a sunblock. 🦛 Despite their enormous size (3200kg), hippos are great swimmers and can hold their breath for up to five minutes underwater. When completely submerged, their ears and nostrils fold shut to keep water out. #hippo #worldhippoday #animals #conservation #wildlife #nationalgeogrqphic #natgeo #cangeo #endangeredspecies
