CHERNOBYL - RADIOACTIVE FUNGI

Boy, who would have thought that cutting a few corners at a nuclear plant in the late 80s would still have us gabbing in the 21st century. Most Chernobyl cleanup has involved slinking away and letting someone else deal with it, which kind of worked, but made people feel a bit guilty. Thankfully a recent discovery by Dr. Ekaterina Dadachova has shown that certain Fungi can eat radiation. Thanks for sticking up for us nature. Don't know where we'd be without you.
