A deadly fungus has shut down an iconic Australian Island
Manage episode 358664619 series 3378975
Thankfully this is no Last of Us situation – that’s the popular video game and TV series where a fungus turns humans into horrifying mushroom zombies.
Instead, the fungus discovered on Lord Howe Island off Australia’s east coast poses a massive threat to a number of iconic plant species.
So, what is this fungus? Where did it come from? And what dangers does it pose to native plant species?
Dr Sophie Calabretto gets an update on the fungal outbreak at Lord Howe Island from Cosmos Magazine journalist Imma Perfetto.
