Back at Sondela

Well we i am back at Sondela and now am no longer a student but i am an employee.Remember when i said that i was going to achieve something and i did i managed to start my own business and as time goes i will see how wi will work out.

Geodisic Dome fungus

Clathrus pusillus has been a mistry for me for two years before I even discovered its real name.I noticed that it had e very short life span and that it had this foul smell and attract flies. Some believed it to be jakkalskos, but I was not convince after my wide search I was able to gether information on it which is not much since there has not been a lot of research done on it, according to nature watch this fungus is Indeginous to Australia, but my biggest question is ,How did it land up in South Africa and its the only one that grows around Sondela Nature Reserve and it grows on the same spot every year. Well carrying on this fungus apparently has a very short life span and when it dies, it collapses and releases this brown exudate which atrracts flies and Ants to help it with its dispersal of spores.
