One million year of rain 200 myr ago. How did it affect fungal diversification? We don't know, but will be interesting to compare with our recent results by Torda Varga. We inferred accelerated mushroom diversification slightly later in the Jurassic, 1/n. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Irene Cordero et al. investigated for us how long should one store their soil for different analysis. Answer is that it is not safe to store the soils at all. If possible. #BES2019
