I feel as if that begs the question -- what's your favorite fungus?

ok I left this in my inbox bc I wanted to give a proper answer but I'd probs have to say arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi! they don't form mushrooms or anything not visible w a microscope, but they live inside plant roots and provide plants w nutrients (in exchange for the plant feeding them as well!).

they're thought to be as old as plants themselves and you get them in around 80% of plant species and they're super important for ecosystems n stuff :) their biology as fungi is also really weird but I won't get into that

they also look rly cool under the microscope - they form these lil tree like structures (called arbuscules, which is latin for "little tree") in plant cells so they can exchange things w the plant :) here's a pic I took of 1 a while ago - they look blue because u have to treat the roots w a blue stain that makes the fungus visible

(I've considered making a biology sideblog for a bit idk - I kind of want an excuse to post about fun lil plant/microbial guys!)

Not something I’d normally post but I found these flower-shaped cell colonies at the bottom of a shotglass. Science tumblr can y’all help me figure out what they are?

Nervous about this test. I know half of it already. But I need sleep. So more studies tomorrow.
