Senior Managements not my bag David.

Too detached for my liking.

 

Rebecca and I share a boss, who's looking like they're gonna be pulled this way and that, with regards to next years budget.

This has been one of the best threads ever!

 

By the way andrew, that "tuber" on the grifola is called a sclerotia! A unit of compact mycelial energy, tuber being a good description these can withstand drought and fire to the point of almost total dessication. If a fruiting body is attached then it is being spent, but if large enough could be used to infect another host!

 

I think in this we may some day find ways of reducing the potential for "pathogenic fungi" to invade our beloved specimens, introducing more favourabl and constructive ones such as grifola as "dryads" or guardians.

 

Love it love it love it.
