Time for fungi to abound!
I'm thinking this is a suillis ("slippery Jack")- what do u folks think?
Definitely a polypore. Didn't have time to check for details, but it's in my front yard so I can look again. (No idea how to do spore prints etc and I don't care that much I'm just curious). Unlike the slug I'm not interested in tasting them!
Ps-
I'm curious if the altbot thing is giving a good enough description or not, too. -
I'll be in LA next week, from 18th to 22nd. If anyone in the area wants to chat about #diybio #amateurscience #independentresearch please feel free to drop a note!

Registration and booking done for #ASMicrobe2025 woot!
I'll be presenting a poster on methylation patterns of an Archaeal genus members with focus on their MGE & rrn operons. It's something I've been tinkering with at the warehouse lab in Queens, hopefully building up to something interesting

Second pub from @ATinyGreenCell is finally live, and this one putting amateur sciences front and center. Looking forward to more independent research/amateur biology publications this year!

One of my current questions is:
"How does a bee, heavily laden with pollen, change her technique?"
I want to learn about a bee's decision-making by observing her, at her speed of thought, as she comes in for a landing.
I've taken some footage already but I want to see her face and antennae from the front as she maneuvers in that critical moment.
