PhD student at Macquarie looking at flower colour in kangaroo paws. MSc on sun orchid taxonomy. I mostly post photos of orchids

My first paper from my MSc thesis is now published in the NZ Journal of botany!

Sequence data support greater taxonomic diversity and a complicated history of hybridisation in New Zealand’s sun orchids - Thelymitra (Orchidaceae) https://t.co/1d8gJqNDc7

Omphalotus nidiformis - one of the bioluminescent "ghost fungi"

I'm super happy to finally tick off a glowing mushroom after years of searching

ヤコウタケ

至る所で光ってます！

A few local orchids, and a beautiful blue entoloma

@p68689820 If you use a strong incandescent light sometimes you can trick them to open!

Thelymitra macrophylla x campanulata '更紗'

campanulata譲りの縦に入る模様が特徴です。
咲き始めですがサラリーマン泣かせの花なので、撮れる時に撮っておかなければです😅

Caladenia hirta x rigita

食虫植物へ進化!?笑

虫はこのまま絶命してました😱

Various orchids in bloom in and around Sydney

[Hayden Jones @_Hayden_Jones]

@Boubi_Rock001 Looks a bit like Brachystele?

[Hayden Jones @_Hayden_Jones]

Cryptostylis leptochila - The small tongue orchid

A new record for this part of Sydney!

[Hayden Jones @_Hayden_Jones]

Dipodium roseum - rosy hyacinth orchid

A mycoheterotrophic species from eastern Australia

@Wenbo77 @TheFlowerShow It's worth trying a DMCA takedown if they haven't deleted the posts already. So frustrating to see yet another case of plant people having photos stolen and reposted without credit

There's fantastic botanizing to be had in Western Australia but the orchids are something else entirely!

A few highlights spotted while doing some field work there

[Hayden Jones @_Hayden_Jones]

Thelymitra crinita in the Perth area

[Hayden Jones @_Hayden_Jones]

Diuris sp. in Karing-gai, including one being visited by a very keen butterfly

It left probably quite disappointed as this genus is thought to be food deceptive and not offer any nectar to pollinators

[Hayden Jones @_Hayden_Jones]

@NileMcmillion @MoleculesGoHard @Explosions_Fire He'll break his own world record for highest tar to product ratio

[Hayden Jones @_Hayden_Jones]

A few of the highlights from Aus so far:
Caleana major
Thelymitra ixioides
Calochilus paludosus

I'm up to hit piece #4 since criticising de-extinction (https://t.co/5c5KjBUZJv). Someone doesn't like being called out in Science. The "creator" of this AI-generated piece clearly didn't read my article w/ Indigenous Māori genomics researcher Phil Wilcox https://t.co/VkGicSJVfG

@thesilverdory I've seen a few chironomids visiting winter pterostylis in NZ, although no pollen removal. Certainly interesting to see it happening across the ditch too though

@Explosions_Fire @Rozell6James The first semiconductor with tar based traces
