How can we protect them? Collect and freeze dry their spores? They mustn't be allowed to die out! Congratulations on finding them..I don't think they're funky at all!
Ya, freezing and storing spores could help keep their genetic material safe, and sharing samples with other mycologists would be useful too. But honestly, the biggest thing is probably just protecting their natural habitat. Also worth raising awareness—not only about these unknown species but about all the others we’re probably missing or losing to deforestation before anyone even sees them!
Distinctive little puffballs. Well done!
Wow - just amazing. Great info thank you.
