The first step in unlocking a fantastic potential medicine. Give it a sign if you think so too.

Thunderstorms bringing this gorgeous Ganoderma (resinaceum?) on a red oak in south London (20.08.22) #Ganoderma #Ganodermaresinaceum #treepathology

[Ruth D'urban-Jackson @RuthDJackson]

Found this red oozing on branches of a recently fallen oak tree in South London today (Armillaria rhizomorphs seen at the base). Any ideas on what it could be? It felt like a dry resin #plantpathology #treedisease

Cerioporus squamosus (AKA Dryad's saddle) popping up in south England 10/08/22. This was before the rain came, so clearly it enjoyed it's damp home amongst the tall grass - note the white spore dust beneath🙂 #fungi #UKfungi

Nursing degrees will be the first to go, then.

Great hearing @DanBebber on @BBCRadio4 @BBCFarmingToday this morning highlighting the importance of plant pathology, and the impact of climate change on food security 🌾🌽🌍

@fayeritchie @kasson_wvu @NickRajtar @forestmycology @FungiwithBengi @retronek @wvudavis @beetle_mom @HosannaDB @lovettbr @FungaLoyd Ah ok yes. In which case, looks to be Peziza micropus, as the pile contained Beech. Thanks!

The finest Parliament in history has voted down a Lords amendment on food standards & Imports.
This lets the UK lower its Food standards & Animal Welfare to make itself open to any US trade deal
I hope brexiters enjoy their chlorine chicken, GMO hormone beef & ractopamine pork

Hang on, what? @Tesco is that really the value you put on quality British milk? Outrageous🤯

[Sarah Langford @wigsandwords]

Milk: officially now cheaper than water, if you buy it from @Tesco anyway. When you think about what has gone into producing milk - by the farmers, the cows, the land, the environment - it seems something close to criminal to sell it for less than spring water.
