The dissolved worm then is then fed on by the mushroom."

How it's going! This is Pickletopia today. The #moss and #algae have mostly taken over, but the grass is still there. I lack the equipment to photograph them, but there are #springtails crawling around in there. I have seen #nematodes and they're probably still living. #mosstodon

Here are the chromosomes I study β the maternally- and paternally-derived chromosomes have paired along their lengths and are now undergoing recombination.

"In the 1980s, scientists discovered that oyster mushrooms are carnivores. The delicious, inescapable inference is that theyβre the only vegan food that can itself eat meat."
