From a summer forest in Denmark:
🍄 Big boy (a family of dryad's saddle mushrooms)
🍄 Odd-looking boy (possibly a young stinkhorn)

I stumbled across this article about alternative protein sources. Many of them I had never heard of before.
It mentioned:
-winged beans
-grasspea
-lupins
-Bambara groundnut
Also, duckweed species can have protein contents of up to 43% (dry matter) and provide all essential amino acids.
Many of these protein sources are very sustainable and resilient to harsh growing conditions, so they are likely to become more important in future food systems.

Nice article discussing ways to visualize both health and environmental impacts of various food groups.
The authors propose a matrix chart showing health effects and carbon footprints for 30 food.
The dataset is freely available in Supplementary Materials.

Nutrition discourse often focuses on protein. Fiber is important too, but rarely talked about.
Here is an “oldish” paper showing a dose-dependent association between fiber intake (from cereals, fruits, and vegetables) and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

Very cool new study & great datasets.
The authors compared the nutritional composition and density of plant-based meat alternatives vs. meat.
They write: plant-based meat is equally nutrient-dense as animal meat and legumes.

I was cloning a wood ear mushroom that I foraged recently. One of my plates was contaminated, so I let it grow. Then I thought I should definitely photograph it against a lamp and share it here. Perfect for @contamclub.bsky.social
The red/pink pigment is likely produced by Fusarium mold.

In this US study, people with a college degree were more likely to consider or choose plant-based burgers than those without a degree.
But when the prices of plant-based options were lowered, consumers without a college degree became more inclined to buy them.

My late submission to #TidyTuesday, week 5.
I couldn’t resist making this 📊, as I’m planning my first garden this year.
And since I’m ambitious (or delusional?), my plan is to grow more than 20 plants! I summarized the requirements for some of them.

Some plants are easy to grow, while others can be challenging
