Does anyone know what the first experiment on a fungal community was? Which scientist or laboratory was the first to use multiple fungi together in ecological experiments?

Currently reading Karl Schütte from the 1950ies (nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…) and the references in this papers. It is a lot of fun and it´s fascinating how much was already discussed in the 19th century

Before 1881, scientists used gelatin to grow bacteria. It worked—until the cultures melted in summer or got devoured by bacteria! Microbiology needed a better solution. Enter Fanny Hesse, a lab assistant with a brilliant idea

Fanny noticed that agar—used in jams and jellies—was heat-resistant and didn't degrade easily. She suggested her husband, microbiologist Walther Hesse, to try it in the lab. It was a game-changer: stable, clear, and perfect for bacterial cultures

Thank you, Fanny! Reading about the conditions of that time, laboratories sound like scenes from a Western movie. Who are your favorite microbial lab scientists stories from the 19th century, and what did they do?

It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

My first conference was a blast. I was not in the mood to tweet, but I was in the mood to get drunk with fellow nerds from across the world.
Grateful for all the new friends and the input you all gave me. Fungal people are awesome

“No Christian can go there. The mountains of the troll church belong to the heathen trolls. If a Christian ventures there, he will come to grief."
The pagans are gone and the troll church is now run by a tiny god
