Good news! A new type of shark has been discovered this year.
The new member of the Lanternshark family is called Etmopterus lailae and can be found in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands. It's less than a foot long, weighs around two pounds, and can easily be recognised by its large pointed nose.

Mycorrhiza is the combination of the Greek words Mykos (fungus) and Rhiza (root). It is the name of a system that connects fungi and plants together.
Mushrooms you see above ground are just the tip of the iceberg, peeking above ground to spread some spores. Below the mushrooms are thin roots that spread out to form a mycelium, which attaches itself to the roots of various plants. This creates a network that plants can use to share nutrients, water, and information, or they can even sabotage the growth of unwanted neighbours.
