From fairy inkcaps to netted stinkhorns, a new survey catalogs more than 200 species of fungi on the French Polynesian island of Mo’orea.
. This hard-to-reach mushroom was just one of hundreds of fungi Garbelotto and UC Berkeley researchers plucked from plants, trees, and soil across the French Polynesian island of Mo’orea in the South Pacific.
Lying within the Society Islands archipelago, Mo’orea is a volcanic island about 2.15 to 1.36 million years old, but is actually a young formation—geologically speaking. The entire archipelago was never connected to a continental landmass, with Polynesians populating the area around 3,000 years ago and even more recently seeing trade and tourism.
“The diversity of habitat in a small area is stunning,” Garbelotto said. “After a while we could tell where we were by just looking at the fungi—each habitat had its very unique cohort of fungi.”
