After our recent #podcast ep. with Josh on smut #fungi, plant STDs and less exciting things - we found THIS while on a walk!

The un-assuming Yellow Birds Nest #plant, a myco-heterotroph (what else!?)

Myco-heterotrophs like this get their nutrients from fungi, which in turn get theirs from trees! 🌳

It’s all happening in the garden today. This Leafcutter bee has - I think - killed this dwarf and is escaping on that tortoise.

Wait. I may have been playing too much Baldur’s Gate.

This was an insane reading.

SHADOW AND CLAW were at points a bloody trudge, but at some point through SWORD it clicked, and I started shaking my head in amazement.
And the bastard warns you in the last pages you MUST reread it to get it all, ffs.

Moby Dick level of pedantry and lyricism. Loved it.
