#Chernobyl #Fungus Seems to Have #Evolved an Incredible Ability Clinging to walls of one of most #radioactive buildings on Earth, scientists have found a strange black fungus curiously living its best life. Fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing #radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis.
