In this June 1, 2016 photo, scientist Lee T.B. who fled North Korea to South Korea, looks at packs of mushrooms at his newly-built laboratory in Hwaseong, South Korea. Lee has studied the fungi for decades and has created products with them that he believes may fight diseases including cancer, which killed his wife more than 25 years ago. He felt his work was constrained by, and ultimately even in some danger from, the North Korean government, so he fled to South Korea in 2005.
