@drwendyrocks.bsky.social felt the 3.6 centered a couple miles west here in Redding. Thought it was as a bus driving by.

Help? ISO a mycologist. I'm working on a piece of short fiction and mycelium play an important role. I'd love to find someone who can answer a few questions to make sure I'm not misunderstanding some basics fungus biology. 🧪🍄

The explosion of the smallest plants is encouraging.

Juan does a good job and has extensive knowledge about Boeing acft systems. From the vid the RAT is for sure deployed.

Looks like the RAT was deployed indicating a serious, multiple systems failure. Must have happened after their decision distance/ speed.
