Amateur Scientists Can Get Published in ‘Science’

Talking about the hermetic cabal of scientists who never let any outsiders in….
Climate change fruitful for fungi:

A remarkable father-and-son research project has revealed how rising temperatures are affecting fungi in southern England.
Fungus enthusiast Edward Gange amassed 52,000 sightings of mushroom and toadstools during walks around Salisbury over a 50-year period.
Analysis by his son Alan, published in the journal Science, shows some fungi have started to fruit twice a year.
It is among the first studies to show a biological impact of warming in autumn.
“My father was a stonemason, and his hobby was mycology,” recounted Alan Gange, an ecology professor at Royal Holloway, University of London.
