| About me |
Hi. I'm an environmental scientist with a PhD in mycology, and a life-long interest in counting, collecting and eating wild mushrooms. I was born in 1961, now have 2 kids (1993 + 1995), and lecture in a not-quite university in London, UK. | ||||||||||||||||

Fungi, soil science Root sheathing (ectomycorrhizal) fungi put up toadstools every autumn. The species change each year, with little ones appearing under young trees and big ones (such as the famous scarlet cap of fly agaric) under mature trees. I study how this succession changes with time, soil conditions and tree health. Should I find a Psilocybe I'd eat it, but in my country these are not woodland species alas. martial arts I'm a black belt in Shorinji Kempo, which is a new system (devised post-2nd WW in Japan) which uses the most effective components of jujitsu and chinese schools of karate. I came to this after exploring judo, aikido and shotokan karate. Choosing a martial art is a very personal decision, and inevitably the personality of other kenshi affects your choice. | My interests | ||||||||||||||||
