Very happy to introduce a new fungus to the world, Endoantria benetecta, which represents not only a new species but a new genus of ascomycetes. It is special as it has only been found in temperate rainforests in Scotland and Wales. It's a super interesting fungus: here's why 1/
Unpublished photos of the very first sample of Endoantria benetecta, with habitat photos showing the orange fungus nestled in its host liverwort perianths, as well as photos of the 1-septate ascospores in Lugol's iodine.

I got my first car ever today (spoiler alert: I don’t drive 🫣😂). For my family in Cuba, this is probably a bigger achievement than any award I’ve ever received! 😂 – at Québec, Canada

Canada can be breathtaking. But even the Canadian Rockies have their limits. ⛰️ With AI, photos and videos can look real, even when they are not. #ThinkBeforeYouShare

Happy to share our latest pre-print on the evolution of TIR-mediated immunity in plants. Led by @E_B_Kennedy and @Khongsam_Chia from our lab @JohnInnesCentre with a big assist from @mhz1989 and @jonathandgjones @TheSainsburyLab. Check out El's twitter thread below:

Extremely excited to share the first pre-print from my PhD project in the Carella lab, co-first authored with @Khongsam_Chia 🎉 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… We investigated the EDS1-dependence of TIR domains from across the spectrum of land plant evolution, and found that TIR-NLR architecture itself can influence TIR domain activity, even for animal and bacterial TIRs. Huge thanks to all co-authors and the #CarellaCapybaras for all the support 😊 Thread below ⬇️

Canonical NLR immune receptor architecture enforces EDS1-dependency onto divergent TIR domains

Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) enzymes are prominent immune components in diverse organisms across the tree of life. In flowering plants, TIRs are often integrated into nucleotide binding leucin...

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. 📍my favourite oak #lakedistrict

My photo vs AI SLOP! You CANT tell the difference anymore! 😤 It is so SUFFOCATING to watch social media be filled with deceptive AI that is drawing attention away from real photographers and REAL stories trying to be told about wildlife! It is so DANGEROUS for conservation! 🕷️

The disrespect for scientists these days is shocking. I made the news for photographing an extremely rare spider in the jungles of PNG and the comments are just full of dismissive people. What has happened to having respect for experts in their field?

菌根共生は道端の草花でも極々普通に営まれています。 畑で菌根菌に効率的に働いて貰えるよう如何に管理するか、が肥料節減に繋がるカギ。 菌根菌は大事。
