Mushroom magic:
Despite the ethereal
appearance of this
photo, these edible
mushrooms won’t
induce any hallucina-
tions. But that doesn’t
mean they aren’t
magical. Indeed, the
more we learn about
mushrooms, the
more magic they
seem to harbor. From
helping trees com-
municate to produc-
ing cancer-fighting
metabolites, scien-
tists have only begun
to uncover the fan-
tastic features of
fungi .
