Michael Flores+FollowFamily Finds 'Extinct' Red Mushroom!A family in Sri Lanka just snapped a pic of a wild, bright red mushroom in their garden—and it turned out to be a fungus last seen in 1919! Scientists thought Mutinus bambusinus was extinct, but nope, it just popped up in someone’s yard. Turns out, these funky stinkhorns rely on flies to spread their spores, and they don’t even need bamboo to grow. Citizen science for the win! Who knows what else is hiding in our backyards? #CitizenScience #Fungi #Biodiversity #NatureDiscovery #Stinkhorn #Science41Share
