These plants also harvest dew, which condenses out of moist air. Edges and hairs make especially good foci for condensation as they radiate heat & cool faster. This species is from Namaqualand, in southern Africa. 📷: Dipcadi crispum Karel du Toit CCBYNC4 #Asparagaceae #fog #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

A fantastic discovery, and hopefully a way to moderate invasive (INNS) Campylopus introflexus (Heath Star Moss).
Well deserved recognition for some very interesting bryological work. 🎉🙌

New fungi book: Corticioid fungi of Europe 2 Hastodontia - Quasiphlebia. Maybe this year I'll really get into Corticioid fungi? #MycoBookClub #FungiFriends
stop writing articles about extreme heat using fun summer imagery challenge: impossible (apparently)

A spring heat wave is scorching parts of Western Europe, breaking temperature records and triggering government warnings.
Canada is utterly useless at protecting wildlife: “the federal government has issued emergency orders only twice since the [species at risk] act was passed in 2002”. Industry always, always wins.
Please share with any budding young mycologists/microbiologists/molecular biologists who might be interested in coming to do an MSc or PhD! We are looking to recruit a student to follow up on some of our observations about ROS resistance and sensitivity in yeasts: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Yeasts are exposed to oxidative stress during routine metabolism, bioproduction, and interactions with other organisms. Here, the authors use a machine learning classifier to identify genes that are p...
“Deep-snow caribou are found nowhere else in the world but in B.C. In 2005, B.C. had 18 deep-snow caribou herds. Eight herds are now locally extinct, while the others are hanging on by a hoof.” @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/06...
If it doesn’t happen, they’re ‘doomed,’ says Okanagan Indian Band Chief Dan Wilson.
