@Fungal_Love So happy about this. Was just thinking that people don't use 'swell' enough. The glowy milipede is nifty too.

@chasemayers Glass lid, no hinge. Purchase order done, though. Some things in the order will suffice. Didn't realize the item was so uncommon.

[Lauren Jackson 🍄🌳 @LWJacksonIII]

Okay science tweeps, what is the proper name of the glass container we fill with ethanol to sterilize scalpels before flaming them?

[Lauren Jackson 🍄🌳 @LWJacksonIII]

@IronMonika Nope. It's waaaayyy fancier. It has a lid!

[Lauren Jackson 🍄🌳 @LWJacksonIII]

@matthew_w_haas No, the deal next to the lamp. It's glass and has a lid so you can put out the flame if it accidentally catches. You dip your tools in it and then flame them with the lamp.

My youngest found these down the road today (Twin Cities area), said they are all over the neighborhood. Xylaria?

@kasson_wvu Shakespore?

@tsjenkinson @bkoskella Any musings on the mechanisms? Resource competition? Direct antagonism? Combination or something else altogether?

Hi Tweeps! Looking for advice on the "best" OTU table data transformation methods for ordinations and networks. Data come from different kingdoms/domains. Hellinger seems promising. Thoughts?

[Lauren Jackson 🍄🌳 @LWJacksonIII]

Well deserved! On to save the trees.

@forestmycology @kasson_wvu @wvudavis @ForestPathology @MSAFungi Watching mycologists in a (very polite) twitter beef like...

Bob fires back with the subtle hatchet placement. Just for size comparison, I'm sure.

[Lauren Jackson 🍄🌳 @LWJacksonIII]

@SteveKutos @naupakaz Trying to get started on this package for ordinations that I couldn't make in phyloseq. Any recommended resources for formatting OTU tables and metadata for import? Would love to see examples of these.

[Lauren Jackson 🍄🌳 @LWJacksonIII]

1) Start writing VERY EARLY
2) Find several NSF panelists & previous awardees who will help
3) Swallow pride & get writing destroyed over & over & over...
4) Submit and cross fingers

More people deserve it then get it. Process will be extremely helpful regardless. Good luck!

@xvilanovasola What about adding compost or other fertilization for the trees? Does this have an impact on truffle yield?

[Lauren Jackson 🍄🌳 @LWJacksonIII]

Beautiful

@chasemayers Just opened within the last few weeks.

#UMNProud There is better representation of #fungi at the #Bell #Museum than any other museum I've been to, possibly combined! Also one of best interactive #evolution exhibits I've seen

A little (rare) fungal love at the #Bell #Museum.
