Professor Fungi

Professor Gortabello Fungi lives behind a little round door in a shady cave made comfy by an impressive assortment of pillows, carpets, and several adorable pets. Undergrowth University supplies the housing right on campus so that professors are less likely to wander off in the forest on the way to class. Professor Fungi’s research focuses on how tree roots communicate and share resources. Photo of Professor Fungi with his two friends use these two patterns: [Dr. M.
