Very happy to have our new paper out, which represents the hard work of many people over more than 6 years. Antarctic fungi are slow growers!

I went to an ancient rainforest with 90 artists and lived! Despite my endless cynicism I had a lovely time

I saw the world’s tallest moss and camped beneath a 500-year-old myrtle tree

Our new paper is out!
We describe a new Penicillium species from Antarctic soil that produces a lovely bright fluorescence.
It's been quite the journey again... 😓...
Many thanks to all involved, especially Xabi 🏅.

Found this cool #bug in the garden today with the longest antennae

I'm hoping someone can help identify this critter for me? It's attached to an australian native and never seen it before. About 5cm. Cheers!
