Dutch fungi species number doubles

This video is about reproduction in fungi.

Dutch journal Natura (2013, #2, p. 5) reports that in 1995, 3,488 fungi species were known to live in the Netherlands.

However, by now, that number has more than doubled. Spores of many fungi travel over long distances.
