We explore and document the fungi to educate about their existence and promote public policies in order to protect them and their habitats.
Fungus of the day
Lactarius deliciosus, commonly known as the saffron milk cap and red pine mushroom, is one of the best known members of the large milk-cap genus Lactarius. A fresco in the Roman town of Herculaneum appears to depict Lactarius deliciosus and is one of the earliest pieces of art to illustrate a fungus. It can be found all over the world.
The Fungi Foundation and its contributors work for the fungi, their habitats and the people who depend on them.
