"I just stood there in awe for a few moments and I'm thinking this is witches cauldron. Hiker Cynthia Andal spotted a group of rare witches cauldron fungi in the woods near the Nechako River in northern B.C. Preston, who teaches at the University of Northern B.C., says witches cauldron is typically found in northern Europe, where it's threatened and has been declining in recent decades. "We have the boreal forest, and sub-boreal, this is where you oddly expect to find witches cauldron." Back in the woods near the Nechako, Andal is thrilled her keen eye has caused a stir in the science world.
