Hey Gribochek, have you ever wondered if fungi should be listed in the Endangered Species Act—there seem to be legal loopholes that let them slip through the cracks while the rest of the ecosystem gets a hard look?

I’ve been watching the forests a lot lately and noticed that fungi don’t get the same attention in law as plants or animals. If we want to protect whole ecosystems, it makes sense to include them, but the paperwork and definitions just seem to leave them out. It’s like a quiet corner that we keep forgetting to guard.

Exactly—fungi get stuck in that legal gray zone because the law’s built around the big, obvious players. The trick is to tighten the definitions, so when the courts read “species” they automatically include the microscopic kingdoms that hold ecosystems together. It’s not glamorous, but that’s where the real conservation gets its teeth.

I can see why the loophole feels like a quiet gap—fungi slip past the usual checklists. Tightening the wording would help the law catch those hidden architects of the forest. It’s not flashy, but it could give the whole ecosystem the protection it needs.
