Our 2023 New Year’s Gift to you…

A quick note to say thank you to our subscribers for your support in 2022. We hope you like us, have loved learning a little more about the science of the Kingdom of Fungi and enjoyed a few fungi adventures of your own.

We are incredibly grateful that over 4 million people have now watch Stephen's YiXi talk on how fungi changed his view of the world and that 75,000 people have wanted to follow the content we share on YouTube by subscribing. Your support helps us create more vids about fungi.

Our little New Year’s gift is that we have made our fungi safari in North East India available on YouTube free of charge.  If you want to have your own copy you can still purchase or stream it here from our website here. Streaming it also provides us with the financial support to document more fungi but now there is a free option.

And our virtual masterclass in macro fungi photography is also still available here at our website.

This year we have been thrilled to share our fungi time-lapses in some stunning documentaries such as the BBC's "Green Planet" with David Attenborough, Genepool's "CARBON the unauthorised biography" and General Strike's "The Giants" - a story about Bob Brown and the precious Tarkine forests of Tasmania. They are also now part of the permanent exhibition at Questacon - National Science and Technology Centre in Canberra Australia and currently showcased at the Kunming Contemporary Gallery in China. And, there are some exciting documentaries showcasing this work scheduled for release in 2023. Stay tuned for details.

2022 has also brought some wonderful fungi adventures for us in Australia, following the rain from where we live in northern NSW, to Tasmania's autumn fungi season, to the arid desert at the centre of Oz. We document a rare blue fungus, a 10-year investigation from discovery to naming, and then unexpectedly spot what we think is a pink version on a remote island. We go zombie hunting and document the discovery of a new penicillin found on a tiny insect. And amid many more adventures we also take you behind the scenes into our time-lapse studio. Catherine is head down editing now so keep an eye out for "Follow the Rain" in 2023.

We wish you all a fabulous festive season and many fungi adventures in 2023.

May the spores be with you, Stephen and Catherine.
