A familiar yet mysterious creature: the mushroom mystery. Mushrooms are often seen when walking around the park, and are often served on the dinner table. Although they are familiar, they are actually creatures with many mysteries. How long have they been on Earth, and how many varieties are there? We will unravel the mysteries of mushrooms in a Q&A format. Take a peek into the profound world of mushrooms!
★【Feature】
Come see the world's longest 70,000-year-old 45m chronograph carved by Lake Suigetsu in Fukui Prefecture!
"Nenko" refers to layers of mud that have been piled up while retaining their striped pattern. We visited Lake Suigetsu in Fukui Prefecture, where the world's longest nenko was discovered, and the Nenko Museum to see the nenko! Not only does it teach us about past climates, but it also provides a useful reference for thinking about future climates. Why not join us in thinking about it?
