@funganaught.bsky.socialCheck out our new paper in New Phytologist. Me and Fungal Prof. Lynne Boddy, setting the record straight on heart-rot in living trees...... Its not a disease and what's more, critical for functioning tree and forest ecosystems.

@funganaught.bsky.socialHi Stevie, I'm the fungi specialist at Natural England. We have a project with Cardiff University on Hericeum erinaceus. It would be great to get some more information on this record. Would you be able to message me to continue the conversation?
@funganaught.bsky.socialis this in the UK? We are looking for samples of this to get it in culture for a species recovery project.
@funganaught.bsky.socialThis is a really cracking review paper
