Learning about the living world

[Toby Kiers @KiersToby]

Great piece in @Forbes about how @spununderground is using ML technologies to document underground systems - and why this matters for fungal conservation.
So proud of @Giulifungi @fungifoundation as they advocate for the Fungal Pledge at #COP16. https://t.co/DcsX5tx6k5

🧠 Nature has its own Halloween decor - Brain Scale Lichen! 🧠 #SpookySeason

Lichens improve soil quality, provide food and habitat for animals, play a key role in nutrient cycling & support biodiversity. Brain Scale Lichen can be found in the Grasslands National Park KBA

Adult female lichen praying mantis (Oxyelaea sp.).
Definitely the most spectacular example of lichen mimicry I've ever witnessed.

Dear science twitter, I came across a few patches of this curious something on the bark of a mountain maple in Atlantic Canada (Odell Park, Fredricton). Any thoughts on what it could be? Looks sort of slime-mouldy.

Very surprised & pleased on a walk to Nettlebed common claypits woodland in S Oxon to find this branch fallen from an ash tree with the unmistakable #lichen Usnea articulata with its long trailing branches & 'strings of sausages'. Only ever seen it in Devon before. Cleaner air?

(1/2) Have you seen Caro Arevalo’s incredible work? "The Fungi Painting" takes you on a journey through phyla, subdivisions, and microscopic wonders of the Fungi Kingdom.

As usual, David Hibbett does a great job communicating about fungi (while shaking up taxonomy!) ‘Dark Fungi’ Species Don’t Get Names. Should They? https://t.co/jJOfSkIpJJ
