Our colleagues from The age of extinction, Phoebe Weston and Patrick Greenfield, are back with two new episodes. We often talk as if we know what species exist in the world – but we don’t. Could misclassifying the notoriously cryptic fungi have broader implications for what we know about the environment, and how we care for it?

- Dr Gothamie Weerakoon is a senior curator at London’s Natural History Museum
- Prof Lynne Boddy is an ecologist at Cardiff University
