Citizen scientists and platforms such as iNaturalist have become the eyes and ears of scientists on a mission to document and record the rich bounty of biodiversity on offer in the Southern hemisphere. In the case of fungi and mushrooms, many southern African species remain to be discovered. Join one of South Africa's leading citizen mycologists, Andrew Killian, in conversation with microbiologist Karin Jacobs and chemical engineer postgraduate student Breyten van der Merwe, himself a trained mycologist.
