At current rates, Scotland’s 30% nature recovery target could take 65 years to reach
New figures show rewilding is now underway across 2.5% of Scotland - 195,615 hectares, up from 2.1% one year ago.
With ScotGov aiming for 30% by 2030, greater political support & action is needed 👉 bit.ly/4leVCuU

Fungi are under threat—and that means we are too. ⚠️
Over 50% of the world’s biodiversity is found underground. But this vital ecosystem is in danger and we need to act now.
Our latest article exposes the threats facing mycorrhizal #fungi and how to protect them.

Mycorrhizal fungi provide ~90% of the nutrients to their host plants, & plants provide 30% of the photosynthetic carbon to the mycorrhizal fungi; Fungi also release nutrients into the SOIL to support bacterial communities beneficial to the plant host! (Yu et al. 2022) #2025MMM

Day 87 of posting cool mushrooms:
Kalaharituber pfeilii is a truffle-like mushroom found only in the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, Namibia, and S Africa. It forms beneficial relationships with watermelon, sorghum, acacia, and more! The Khoisan people eat it.

Madame Mazet-Delpeuch was the first female chef to lead a kitchen in the résidence officielle Elysee Palace, who quit to go run a kitchen in Antarctica, and then founded a truffle farm in New Zealand.
All of which, sound like cooking paradise to me. Quite an extraordinary life.
