    Sept '20 – Pigeon Tower 03

    The third tower was build inside the Clean Lab . Two previous attempts to build a sturdy, living tower had failed. Time to take a step back. We did not know whether our principles were correct.

    Parasitic fungi and their function

    Fungi can more or less be divided into three main clusters. The second big group is parasitic fungi. Of course, there are parasitic species for every organism, but they are mainly related to insects.
