A trove of 654 specimens of fungi have been welcomed home.
The specimens had been held at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and will now be catalogued and digitised – making them widely-available to researchers.

I am thrilled that we have @mplscargobikelibrary.com and they offered me the loan of the e-trike. If I find myself getting more comfortable and can see a continual use for it, I would look into investing in one. I don't have a driver's licence so I can see it as a huge benefit.
