    If any of you are interested in a book that talks about new bizarre fungi associated with the increasing climate, I really recommend “The Fifth Extinction:An Unnatural History”, by Elizabeth Kolbert.

    The book was published back in 2014, but scientists were already seeing similar effects on animals within the amazon. A lot of animals are thought to be at risk of extinction because of fungus associated with rising temperatures. There was a very big focus on amphibians and small animals. I could totally see that trend expanding across more species, especially after nearly another decade.
