Re: Indicator plants and FUNGI
lets not forget fungi as indicators too,
in the first
2 years we had only white fungi on the trees
now there is RED!!! which,
according to at least two references I can dig up
for the sceptical in
my
chaotic office here,
Red fungi indicates cleaner air than white fungi,
no fungi in a high
rainfall area is a concern for worry
about high
pollution levels.
It seems that our plantings along the road are screening
pollution better
than anticipated.
