Fungus Fights Invasive Moss
Description
A newly discovered fungus in Britain is quietly turning the tide against an invasive moss that’s been choking out native habitats. Called “moss die-back,” this natural predator targets only the aggressive heath-star moss — and possibly one other species — leaving native plants untouched. Discovered by 30-year-old Dr. George Greiff after years of research and international collaboration, this fungal breakthrough offers a rare, eco-friendly solution to a global problem. Scientists are now hunting for clues in old moss samples to trace its origins, while conservationists see this as a vital, hopeful step toward restoring fragile ecosystems and protecting biodiversity.
