Image description: Clastoderma debaryanum is a myxomycete generally only about 700um tall. They are protists with amoeboid and spore-forming stages. They play a vital role in ecosystems by decomposing organic matter, aiding nutrient cycling. Myxomycetes also play a role in competing against some soilborne plant pathogens.

Jacob Suissa and I wrote a #book about #ferns! It's beautifully illustrated by the amazing artist Laura Silburn. Will be released in May and you can preorder from Amazon. We hope this book could help you forget all the bad things happening on Earth right now. More here: mailchi.mp/btiscience/f...
