BBC Radio 4 - Saving Species, Series 2, Episode 24

With Brett Westwood. From the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

Recorded in front of an audience at the National Botanic Garden of Wales, the programme's theme is fungi - organisms apart from others, that run a great deal of the world.

24/30 This weeks Saving Species is recorded in front of an audience at the National Botanic Garden of Wales. And the programme has a theme - fungi. It's at this time of year that many of us see the fruiting bodies of fungi, the "mushroom", but so much more goes on underground and in the leaf litter. On the panel we have fungi expert Professor Lynne Boddy of Cardiff University and Rosie Plummer, the Director of the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Delivering some specially written prose is writer and broadcaster Paul Evans and a special report from naturalist Ray Woods. And of course questions from the audience.

Presenter Brett Westwood
Producer Sheena Duncan
Editor Julian Hector.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
