Context:

Cellulosic ethanol may power the Ta-Ta in your future, but even more amazing, who ever heard of flesh-eating grass? In a world of some 12,000 grass species, a local native may be the first documented mowable carnivore. No, I have not effectively checked for other meat-eating grasses, but in any case, it turns out yet again that underground Florida is a strange social network.

insectivorous mycorrhizal fungi. Switch Grass has em’. The fungus Metarhizium robertsii has been shown to infect and murder soil insects, and to transfer the bug nitrogen to Switch Grass (and to beans).

Could only have been Florida or Australia.
