I'm listening to an NPR story on a woman who's researching an invasive mushroom species in California, the "death cap" mushroom. She says:
It's a challenge to study something that's so different from you because, you know, a fungus is not a human, it's not an animal, and it doesn't act the same way, so you really have to think hard and challenge your assumptions about everything that it's doing.
Her collegue says, "Fungi are really cool." (On the Trail of the Death Cap Mushroom at npr.org)
