It keeps telling me to leave my hand in when I take a picture. This thing REALLY wants to show me my bones and a teensey part of me wants to let it.

All these white powders keep whispering things to me about "grindsets" and "the blockchain"

Oh also a bonus pic because this little guy has such an interesting 3D growth pattern. The red one is growing like a ring of spikes up & out. I'm sure it's hyphae searching for food but it looks so fantastical.

This is who I couldn't ID before. It didn't grow in an even spread & instead in a patchy fluff all over. It's mostly yellow with a hint of green where it's thickest. It could be a kind of aspergillus, but it's unlike any of the a. samples I've seen in this lab. I'd love to hear any ideas anyone has.

After incubating for a week or so, the fusarium & phoma can be identified by their color & if need be by microscope. We have a pcr lab (that I hope we can secure funding to start up again) that can identify specific species, but visual inspection works for what we do. These are typical plates.

Okay, so all these plates I'm showing are dirt samples in a media made for growing fungi (it has antibiotics in it) to see what's living in our crop fields. Specifically, this media is for finding fusarium & phoma. These samples are also all a little old as they wait to be destroyed.

I've seen people talk about this like "All crops are GMO, stop your anti-GMO whining" & like thats not why I'm anti GMO. GMO crops aren't any worse for you than organic crops and would be really cool if it didn't let corps copywrite dna sequences & sue small farmers whos crops get pollinated by GMO.

For more bee info, I recommend Honeybee Democracy by Thomas Seeley. A wonderful academic book about bee behavior that successfully brings the academic language down enough to be easily understood without losing too much of its complexity.
