The edible fungi was discovered as part of a NASA-funded research mission about life in extreme environments.

Yellowstone National Park is slowly re-opening after damaging floods last week, and a Chicago company is closely monitoring the situation from 1,300 miles away.On the site of an old hog processing facility at Pershing Road and Halsted Street, you'll find production of new kind of protein called Fy.

"We don't need pesticide. We don't need insecticide. We don't need hormone," said Thomas Jonas, CEO and co-founder of Nature's Fynd, the company that developed Fy."If you ever had a beer in your life, if you ever had a piece of cheese in your life, then you probably have – you actually have – eaten something that is made with microbes," explained Jonas.

Roads washed away, forcing park closures, which then prevented visitors from trying Nature's Fynd products that were available at Yellowstone for the first time this season. CBS 2 asked if the national parks system and/or the federal government supports the work Nature's Fynd is doing, given that the microbe came from Yellowstone and the company is now monetizing it.
