We are hearing a lot about chickens right now and the "chicken of the woods" is JUST coming out in Minnesota. Nice young, plumb, tender "chicken" for tonight's chicken tacos

Last match of the season, it’s been one hell of a roller coaster but I’m proud of how far we’ve come. I can’t wait to spend the 2025-2026 season with @mn-wwfc.bsky.social . Up the Wolves!! 🐺

Morel mushrooms are out in Minnesota! Colin Peters and myself found some yesterday (Sunday) [email protected] @umnplantpath.bsky.social

Happy Superb Owl Sunday! I hope the owl makes an appearance at your party and lets you touch his beak.

All square at the break. ⏱️🐺

That’s how you start the weekend! 🐺🐺

FULL TIME BRISTOL CITY 1-2 WOLVES Not a Cup tie that will live long in the memory but Wolves are through, and deservedly so. Despite only being at their best fleetingly, they created quite a few good chances. Bristol City gave it a go in the second half but only had one clear sight of goal. #WWFC

Wolves ADVANCE!! A great way to start a Saturday morning.

You got my vote! 🐺

In this the darkest timeline, Happy December 10th to all who celebrate.

FULL TIME FULHAM 1-4 WOLVES Given all the circumstances - the pressure on every game now and the players who were missing - that is an outstanding win for Wolves. They had some moments of luck but they took their chances superbly and played with real commitment and resilience. #WWFC

Happy December 10th to all who celebrate!

I’m thrilled to announce our newest open access publication-Diverse Xylaria in the Ecuadorian Amazon and their mode of wood degradation. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Napping on a GIANT puffball (Calvatia gigantea) because foraying for mushrooms is hard work!

Cedar and I are all smiles after that HUGE Wolverhampton Wanderers win over Manchester City!!!

for no reason whatsoever, i have one and a half halloween costume ideas for you, nick

My first Bluesky post is going to be about the illusive, old growth spruce loving and magnificent witches cauldron (Sarcosoma globosum). This fungus only occurs in a few locations in Minnesota and a few other places around the world. It is endangered and considered near threatened.
