Can fungi turn food waste into the next culinary sensation?
Fungi can transform plant and animal products into delicious foods like cheese, miso and beer. A researcher argues that a type of filamentous mold -- Neurospora intermedia -- could also turn food waste into culinary treats.ScienceDaily
Some material experiments with mycelium substrate growing in sawdust and flour, to make fungi sculptures from moulds.
I am using a proprietary mix from the Dutch company Kineco https://kineco.bio/, although I know I can potentially make this myself with some spores and sawdust.
Will report back in about 7 days with whatever comes of these.

Do you know MediaDive, the world’s largest collection of cultivation media for microorganisms 🧫? It contains detailed introductions how to prepare the medium you need for your strain. In addition to the provision of all media used at the DSMZ, you can also create your own media or search for a medium suitable for your strain. Give it a try 😉

Marine #microorganisms are crucial for #ocean health.
#Bacteria, #archaea, #fungi, #algae and #viruses make up most of the biomass in the seas and form the base of marine food webs.
They support nutrient cycling and drive crucial biogeochemical processes, including key steps in the carbon, nitrogen and silicon cycles.
Ocean modelling must evolve to take their biological complexity into account.

‘Oceans are hugely complex’: modelling marine microbes is key to climate forecasts
Microorganisms are the engines that drive most marine processes. Ocean modelling must evolve to take their biological complexity into account.Tagliabue, Alessandro

Mycorrhizas drive the evolution of plant adaptation to drought - Communications Biology
Phylogenetic comparative analysis using data of 1,638 species of angiosperms and gymnosperms suggests that the evolution of plant adaptation to critical environmental change in water availability across global climates is dependent on mycorrhizas.Nature

In 2022, Hato press invited Raphaël Bastide to do a publication part of the zine series. In a wish to revive the “fan” part of fanzine, Raphaël Bastide decided to pay tribute to Wikipedia, a surviving, precious, unequaled place on the open WWW.velvetyne.fr
