Merri Fungi - Earthballs help plants grow
Channel: FunFungi Ecology
Date: 2020-06-08

Not all fungi have a mushroom shape some are earth balls like Scleroderma. Sapphire explains a bit about earth balls and how they are important as mycorrhizal fungi. These help the local plants grow.

Friends of Merri Creek is working with Sapphire from Fungi4Land to help raise awareness about fungi as part of healthy landscape management.

Thanks to Thespina for volunteering her time to make the videos.
