Chanced upon a local Cordecyp Graveyard🐜🍄🪦

Gotta watch out for those spores 🧟‍♂️🧠

[Karl Png @PngKarl]

Sights like these make you appreciate the wonders of nature, especially in a very urban city like Singapore. Thankful we still have these amazing primary forests 🌳🍃🌸🐜🪲🦟 , a zen day indeed

Happy International Biodiversity Day! And Vesak Day! A little thread on my day…First photo: Craterellus cornucopioides var. mediosporus Corner. According to Singapore’s guide to Macrofungi, this mushroom belongs to Hydnaceae, a family with ectomycorrhizal species.

[Karl Png @PngKarl]

The last photo is a Thottea sp. 🌸. Also another amazing plant with really purple flowers, its family is famous for attracting fly pollinators because of its corpse like appearance🥩

@sivasothi talking all about otters in Singapore!

After three years, finally saw my Bulbophyllum ‘Lion King’ opened today:)

Tropical acorns next to its ectomycorrhiza partner. Never thought I will see it in Singapore😭🌰🍄

Happy to share that our commentary on integrating belowground processes to improve restoration success is finally out! 🥳 @Biotropica
This is a consolidation of ideas from @theATBC 2022 involving belowground researchers working across all of the tropics!

A bit late to the party…was hanging out with the coolest youth conservationists at the @EarthshotPrize ceremony. And reconnected with some fantastic fungi along the way:)

[Jo Lyn @NYJ_0L]

Inspiring talk by Prof Leo Tan who greatly contributed to the education, scientific and environmental scene. Left with great admiration for someone who stood firmly on science, and his progressive ideas & beliefs during a more authoritarian & rapidly developing Singapore.

First first author publication! Here, we highlighted knowledge gaps in root traits in the Paleotropics. Hence, future studies should focus on specific root traits depending on geography to understand plant responses to regional impacts of global change.

Recently, I was approached by @LinneanSociety to write a short piece on my life in relation to Wallace’s birth bicentenary. Would like to thank many people and organisations who influenced this piece. You can read more at https://t.co/BcI20pqX02 Vol 39, no 2, September.
