The fantastic scientists at Kew Botanical Gardens (UK) estimate that there are around 19 million species of fungi; although "only" 150,000 have been described, which means that we have records, photos, measurements, microscopies and a lot of paper to know the name of these little mushrooms.
So with 150,000 species of mushrooms we have 1,250 years of different designs, if every month we make art for 10 different species.
This mushroom thing is like tazos, every day you are amazed to know that there are more and more and they are all beautiful.
