There are a lot of species in the fungi kingdom. How many? Over five million! That's a lot of fungus to sort through, so how do we keep things organized? Well we may remember learning about phylogeny and taxonomy in the biology series, so let's return to that system of classification and apply it to fungi. Phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, the whole show! Take a look.

Much of the mushroom photography was provided by Stephen Axford of Planet Fungi. For more dazzling footage check out Stephen's fungi safari in the forests of the Himalayas documenting over 200 species of mushrooms! I'm serious, it's incredible, go watch the trailer: https://www.planetfungi.movie/
