Subject: RE: UN says 2013's extreme weather is due to warming earth Originally posted by tuwoodCan't we go back to something less controversial like Global Warming. Drew? maybe evolution/creation? ;-) I know, right? I had no idea mushrooming was so contentious. I'm just glad to see in your guys's pictures they were all in a basket. Wouldn't want anyone with loose morels in the thread. Since y'all are arguing about phenology (basically the study of timings in nature), I'll throw out a plug for Project Budburst. It's a citizen science project where anyone can go in and enter their observations about when flowers first bloom, buds first appear, etc. to help scientists studying how climate change is affecting the timing of these events. I don't think they gather data for mushrooms though, just plants, which is maybe a good thing. |
