  Mycology - Fungi and Their World

  Fungi occupy a unique and essential place in the natural world, forming a biological kingdom distinct from plants, animals, and bacteria. Unlike plants, fungi do not rely on photosynthesis to produce energy, and unlike animals, they do not consume food through ingestion. Instead, they absorb nutrients externally by secreting powerful enzymes that break down organic material. This ability allows fungi to play a crucial role in ecosystems, particularly as decomposers that recycle nutrients back into the environment. 
  The evolutionary origins of fungi date back over a billion years, with evidence suggesting they share a distant common ancestor with animals. As they evolved, fungi developed an incredible range of adaptations, enabling them to survive in nearly every habitat on Earth. From the depths of the ocean to arid deserts, fungi have found ways to thrive in extreme conditions. Some species form vast underground networks, facilitating communication between plants, while others exist as microscopic spores floating invisibly through the air. 
  Classifying fungi has been a longstanding challenge due to their vast diversity and complex life cycles. Scientists traditionally grouped fungi based on physical traits and reproductive strategies, but advances in molecular biology have refined their classification. The major phyla of the fungal kingdom include Basidiomycota, which encompasses familiar mushrooms, Ascomycota, which includes yeasts and molds, Zygomycota, known for fast-growing molds, and Glomeromycota, which form essential symbiotic relationships with plant roots. These diverse groups showcase the wide-ranging forms and functions of fungi in nature.

  Nineteen Reservoirs - On Their...

  Without the nineteen upstate reservoirs that supply its water, New York City as we know it would not exist today. 
   
   
   
  From 1907 to 1967, a network of reservoirs and aqueducts was built across more than one million acres in upstate New York, including Greene, Delaware, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties. This feat of engineering served to meet New York City's ever-increasing need for water, sustaining its inhabitants and cementing it as a center of industry. West of the Hudson, it meant that twenty-six villages, with their farms, forest lands, orchards, and quarries, were bought for a fraction of their value, demolished, and submerged, profoundly altering ecosystems in ways we will never fully appreciate. 
   
   
   
  This paradox of victory and loss is at the heart of Nineteen Reservoirs, Lucy Sante's meticulous account of how New York City secured its seemingly limitless fresh water supply, and why it cannot be taken for granted. In inimitable form, Sante plumbs the historical record to surface forgotten archives and images, bringing lost places back to life on the page. Her immaculately calibrated sensitivity honors both perspectives on New York City's reservoir system and helps us understand the full import of its creation.
