Tag Fungal Forensics

Fungal Forensics is the science of solving mysteries with mycology—using spores, mycelium, and fungal DNA as evidence to crack cases. Whether it’s tracing illegal mushroom harvesting, linking soil samples to crime scenes, or proving a truffle’s true origin, this field blends biology with detective work. In the Grand Cosmic Mycelial Network, spores are the undercover agents—quiet, persistent, and impossible to bribe.
