Dr. Harry Evans, Emeritus Fellow at CAB International, led scientists—including from the Natural History Museum of Denmark and Royal Botanical Gardens Kew—in a study to investigate the identity of a fungus found on a spider during filming of the BBC Winterwatch series in Northern Ireland. The work is published in the journal Fungal Systematics and Evolution.

    Felt weird reading island in front of Ireland. Like, redundant to the point of uncanny valley. You mean Ireland Ireland, right?

      The Island of Ireland contains both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (part of the UK)
