Keep up the good work!) BTW, I vaguely remember rumors about an ECHO movie - do you know anything new about that?

not a matchbox, but well worthy

One day your efforts will lift ECHO from the undeserved "mostly positive" zone.)

RGB values were then automatically translated into color names, which fell rather nicely into color categories assigned subjectively by eye.
Unsurprisingly, most of the failed extracts were dark-colored (and also old!), though ~half of dark extracts performed just fine in PCR and sequencing.

It often works well for non-fiction academic writing, though not sure if anyone writes entire fiction books in it. Anyway, good luck.)

Looks like @obsidian.md can work for you. Desktop and mobile versions are free, and for small subscription you can sync them (or just use cloud of your choice). No fancy text formatting, but overall their text editor is sweet.

ohh no, Ustilaginomycotina is missing, Pucciniomycotina is a single tip, don't show it to mycologists, much drama ensured.)

hah, someone decided to monetize BLAST. Will be funny if it is just MMSeqs in a trenchcoat.

Yes, all versions are downloadable unite.ut.ee/repository.php
And also PlutoF (UNITE's management side) has API, it may be more convenient for data retrieval plutof.docs.apiary.io#reference
PlutoF API · Apiary
A place where APIs are kept.
plutof.docs.apiary.io

Would be interesting to see the same for UNITE's SHs ;)

One day APIs will get as fine grained as flour, but not today.)

Do you queue also remotely? Some kind of Google/Amazon cloud?

Haha, why it's always like this - any serious work requires downloading the entire resource

Sampling was... not boring: most of the material is corticioids (sometimes as thin as <100um) the most difficult fungi to sample imo.

Mycologist: I know a lovely place!

Lovely place in question:

The library is on site and very rich, with titles dating back to Linnaeus

One of a few places with a dedicated collection of spore prints (hundreds if not thousands of them!).
