...and @IsabelRF84 will be talking about the collection, and use, of foam samples. Others will be sharing tips and experiences. See you there! @FUNACTION_EU @BritMycolSoc

Aquatic hyphomycetes are a fascinating group of aquatic fungi. Most of them feed on dead leaves in flowing water. Their spores are usually either sinuous or four-armed to enable them to catch on to new food sources. @BritMycolSoc
This video from Jennifer Anderson, a leading researcher into the evolution and ecology of aquatic hyphomycetes, gives a great overview of this fascinating fungal group. youtube.com/watch?v=P2NrY_3Z…
Two different diseases on Ranunculus repens. Leptotrochila ranunculi on the left with yellowing around brown rotting areas and apothecia not restricted to brown areas. Ramularia simplex on the right with veins delimiting black infected areas where sporulation occurs.
My plant of the week @RHSHarlowCarr. Fuschia 'Whiteknight Amethyst' with less contrast between its pink sepals and purple corolla than on the more usual Fuschia magellanica.

"For all its material advantages, the sedentary life has left us edgy and unfulfilled. Even after 400 generations in villages and cities, we haven’t forgotten: the open road still softly calls like a nearly forgotten song of childhood."

An opportunity to join a great team at the RHS promoting great plant health in UK gardens. rhsocli.webitrent.com/rhsocl…
How could anything that horrible happen in a place as beautiful as this?
Do we know how much damage this does to Hazel on the continent @AndrewSalisbur2 ?
New to UK longhorn beetle Oberea linearis!
Native to continental Europe. Presumably imported. Life cycle 2 years in hazel twigs.
Hackney Marshes seems to be a good place to find new species of longhorn.

We've teamed up with @anyagardenfairy and @Gardener_jamie to create the RHS Money-Saving Garden at #RHSHamptonCourt!
The garden will show which plants can give the best long-term value for money, while supporting wildlife and helping the planet 🌱
