Podocarp root culturing complete! This month was definitely a mad dash to collect, plate, and isolate. Finished with 202 isolates with over 75 unique morphologies, a few being quite dominate. Excited to sequence and identify these! 🧫🌲

Culturing Podocarpus oleifolius from the Fortuna Reserve in Western Panama. I love the unique root morphology of this clade and watching their associated fungi emerge while enjoying life on Barro Colorado Island! 🌲 🍄‍🟫 🧫
