Very happy to introduce a new fungus to the world, Endoantria benetecta, which represents not only a new species but a new genus of ascomycetes. It is special as it has only been found in temperate rainforests in Scotland and Wales. It's a super interesting fungus: here's why 1/
Unpublished photos of the very first sample of Endoantria benetecta, with habitat photos showing the orange fungus nestled in its host liverwort perianths, as well as photos of the 1-septate ascospores in Lugol's iodine.

Canada can be breathtaking. But even the Canadian Rockies have their limits. ⛰️ With AI, photos and videos can look real, even when they are not. #ThinkBeforeYouShare

Happy to share our latest pre-print on the evolution of TIR-mediated immunity in plants. Led by @E_B_Kennedy and @Khongsam_Chia from our lab @JohnInnesCentre with a big assist from @mhz1989 and @jonathandgjones @TheSainsburyLab. Check out El's twitter thread below:

Extremely excited to share the first pre-print from my PhD project in the Carella lab, co-first authored with @Khongsam_Chia 🎉 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… We investigated the EDS1-dependence of TIR domains from across the spectrum of land plant evolution, and found that TIR-NLR architecture itself can influence TIR domain activity, even for animal and bacterial TIRs. Huge thanks to all co-authors and the #CarellaCapybaras for all the support 😊 Thread below ⬇️

My photo vs AI SLOP! You CANT tell the difference anymore! 😤 It is so SUFFOCATING to watch social media be filled with deceptive AI that is drawing attention away from real photographers and REAL stories trying to be told about wildlife! It is so DANGEROUS for conservation! 🕷️

The disrespect for scientists these days is shocking. I made the news for photographing an extremely rare spider in the jungles of PNG and the comments are just full of dismissive people. What has happened to having respect for experts in their field?

菌根共生は道端の草花でも極々普通に営まれています。 畑で菌根菌に効率的に働いて貰えるよう如何に管理するか、が肥料節減に繋がるカギ。 菌根菌は大事。

AI photos being uploaded to INATURALIST now. As they get better this destroys the concept of citizen science as nothing can be trusted. How do we delete the internet and start again?? 😭😭😭
