My daughter is 2yo and loves to work outdoors with us, yesterday we organized the composting area and she had so much fun!

Black-footed polypore (Picipes badius) in Dutch called Peksteel. A saprobic species that causes white rot in dead trees. Pretty thin and leathery skin.

I had a lot to do today so instead I took a break and photographed the flies on the chicken shit in our garden. 😄

They're quite pretty when you look up close. There were five species. Here are four of them.

Fungal #evolution: Mycena can now invade living hosts https://phys.org/news/2023-10-fungal-evolution-mycena-invade-hosts.html

#Mycena species can be opportunist-generalist plant root invaders https://ami-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1462-2920.16398

"this genus of #fungi, which has traditionally been considered #saprotrophic—i.e., a #decomposer of nonliving organic matter—is in the midst of an evolutionary leap... some of these bonnet #mushrooms species even show early signs of being able to act as #mutualists—i.e., live in #symbiosis with #trees"

Fungal evolution discovered: Mycena can now invade living hosts

Biologists have long known mushrooms of the genus Mycena, commonly known as bonnet mushrooms, as fungi that live off of dead trees and plants. New research from the University of Copenhagen demonstrates that bonnets can also find their ways into young, healthy trees and plants, where they try to cooperate. In doing so, they have made an evolutionary leap which challenges our understanding of the ecological roles of fungi.

In #BEF_China, he studies whether the diversity of trees affects the decomposition of animal #carcasses and #decomposer diversity. Not nice for the 👃 and potentially 🤢🤮 But don't worry, we show only nice photos here 😉 @multitroph
