Citizen scientists have helped shed light on a "humungous fungus" that can kill off common plants. The honey fungus often appears at the start of autumn, when honey-coloured toadstools appear on ...

The team hopes that the biohybrid wood could be used to create building materials that double as sustainable light sources.
