Yeast biologist interested in metabolism and genomics. Cultivated meat skeptic. If you misuse the word "fermentation", I *WILL* come after you. Allergic to buzzwords in general. Any opinions expressed here are my own, nothing to do with my employer.
I subscribe to the legal theory that ascocarps (in this case from what looks to be an Ascocoryne species) qualify as “mushrooms” for the purposes of #MushroomMonday

The biochemical and biogeochemical arguments are intricate but the biochemical case against cultivated meat is basically: no optimal way of feeding the cells glucose and amino acids. Biogeochemical argument has to do with how nitrogen gets into the amino acids (see pic). Be happy to elaborate.

Once you know to look for Arcyria, you end up finding it almost everywhere.

I rarely post plant pics – but lycophytes get special treatment. Looks like Lycopodium clavatum.
