When I am dictator, everyone who makes a claim "according to scientific studies," or similar phrasing, will have one hour to produce their citations. Those who fail to do so will be used as study subjects for whatever comes up. 🧪

“I’ve decided not to even try to emerge.

I will stay under the surface.

I will stretch outward.

I will form connections.

I will nourish and be nourished.

I will be mycelium.”

This was a great read. 🧪
I'm not talking about any of *that stuff* today. Let's talk about MYCELIUM 🧪🐡🍄

Who's coming to the Mushroom Meetup in Albuquerque tomorrow?? If you're ordering shirts or potions from the apothecary, I'm happy to bring them for pickup! 🌱

🍃🧪 A new kind of fungal partnership

Scientists found a unique fungus-cyanobacterium duo that forms leaf-like structures and fixes nitrogen - unlike any known lichen.

This discovery could change how we understand fungal symbiosis in forests.

A thallus-forming N-fixing fungus-cyanobacterium symbiosis from subtropical forests
Fungus lives within cyanobacterial sheaths in a thallus-forming symbiosis, named “phyllosymbia.”

One year on, we’ve heard little reaction to our paper conceiving #species as process-bound, historical, and without natural rank. Integrative #taxonomy and #phylogenetics should love the concept; #speciation biology might not, but it could. #evolbio #philbio #philsci #hpbio
A new view of #SpeciesConcepts by @jeannettewhitton.bsky.social and me, clarifying time frames while unifying interbreeding, genealogy, and traits. A general-purpose species should be a reproductive community (bound by cohesive processes) viewed retrospectively (RRCC).  doi.org/10.18061/bss...

Don’t sweat the INVALID HANDLE issues here today, the servers are stressed from the crazy volume of new users. It’s the biggest day ever here, beating yesterday and with 8 hours left in the day.
