A Cemetery's Big Secret: Lots of Weird Mushrooms - The New York Times


A Cemetery’s Big Secret: Lots of Weird Mushrooms
Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn is a treasure trove for amateur fungi hunters. Just don’t pick any.

Sigrid Jakob showed up to Green-Wood Cemetery hot on the heels of a recent victory: The deer dung she was cultivating in her apartment had just yielded a particularly exciting specimen of fungi.
She’d gathered the dung in a park in the Bronx, she said, and was currently storing it in Tupperware that once housed takeout. She guessed she had eight Tupperwares worth of dung collected at the time; she was observing them for fungal growth.

Whether you’ve noticed it or not, there are far fewer bees around nowadays.
One-quarter of the world’s 20,000 bee species are in precipitous decline or have already gone extinct since 1990. A range of causes are to blame, including indiscriminate overuse of pesticides, loss of plants, and habitat destruction from human encroachment. But the latest and greatest threat is now climate change, which is warping the bees’ environments (blooming seasons, plant diversity, etc.) at a faster rate than they are able to adapt.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — As springtime approaches, we should be hearing the lovely tunes of singing birds.
But instead, the reality is quite different.
“Now since the weather cleared up, I’ve actually found a couple of dead birds, a couple of dead lizards,” Corpus Christi resident Jeff Brown said.
Brown is not the only one.
Pflugerville resident Jeff McIntyre visited the Coastal Bend, documenting what he saw on the app iNaturalist.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department currently has a project called Winter Storm URI Wildlife Deaths used to track the number of animals killed in the freeze.

An image posted to Facebook by Texas Parks and Wildlife shows dead bats under a Texas bridge. After last week's historic winter storm, dead and dying bats are turning up under bridges and overpasses across the state, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said. Hundreds have been found in San Antonio.
In response, TPWD announced an investigation of the bat fatalities on social media, asking Texans to share observations, including photos, and to estimate the number of fatalities on iNaturalist, a social network used to identify and track plants, wildlife and other organisms.
