PSA: Missouri Dept of Conservarion is holding a virtual mushroom hunting webinar this Saturday. I believe this is just for residents of Missouri. Looks pretty darn cool. LOVE the MDC learning stuff. Missourians are so lucky to have a great conservation department.

Living trees absorb carbon, aiding climate change mitigation. But what role do dead trees play in carbon storage? UVM researchers found that large, downed trees in streams tie up tremendous stores of carbon—and this pool of carbon storage is growing over time. Moreover, large trees in streamside forests proved important for recruiting carbon into streams over time—reflecting the environmental value of big, old trees.
From a couple of weeks ago, a drift of Tulip 'Orange emperor’, who were lucky to escape the muntjac’s attention.
This cultivar was, apparently, introduced in 1962 by the the Dutch grower J.W.A. Lefeber. Back then, he could not have imagined that the name, Orange Emperor, would acquire such an unsavoury meaning more than sixty years later.
Let’s keep this our #secret. Somebody might think that they named a tulip after him.
