*during a prank*

James: What do you think Sirius will do for a distraction?

Remus: He’ll probably make a noise or throw a rock. That’s what I would do

*classroom explodes and several students start screaming*

Remus: ... Or he could do that

It's been a long long time coming, but all four volumes of the herbologist zine are now in stock! Each zine collects together a year of my patreon plant and fungi rewards. In each book you'll find a year of my exploration, illustration, folklore and scientific facts about the wonderful botanical and fungi filled world around us!

Thanks to the wonderful @mushroomyhouse - who helped me turn this print run into a reality! I could not have done it without them!

"A company in France has developed genetically-enhanced houseplants that remove 30 times more indoor air pollutants than your normal ficus.

Paint, treated wood, household cleaners, insulation, unseen mold—there is a shopping list of things that can fill the air you breathe in your home with VOCs or volatile organic compounds. These include formaldehyde and other airborne substances that can cause inflammation and irritation in the body.

The best way to tackle this little-discussed private health problem is by keeping good outdoor airflow into your living spaces, but in the dog days of summer or the depths of a Maine winter, that might not be possible.

Houseplants can remove these pollutants from the air, and so the company Neoplants decided to make simple alterations to these species’ genetic makeup to supercharge this cleaning ability.

In particular, houseplants’ natural ability to absorb pollutants like formaldehyde relies on them storing them as toxins to be excreted later.

French scientists and Neoplants’ co-founders Lionel Mora and Patrick Torbey engineered a houseplant to convert them instead to plant matter. They also took aim at the natural microbiome of houseplants to enhance their ability to absorb and process VOCs as well.

The company’s first offering—the Neo P1—is a Devil’s ivy plant that sits on a custom-designed tall stand that both maximizes its air-cleaning properties and allows it to be watered far less often.

Initial testing, conducted by the Ecole Mines-Telecom of Lille University, shows that if you do choose to shell out the $179 for the Neo P1, it’s as if you were buying 30 houseplants. Of course, if you went for the budget route of 30 houseplants, you’d have to water them all.

The founders pointed out in an interview done with Forbes last year that once they settled on the species and fixed the winning genetic phenotype, the next part of the process was just raising plants, the same activity done in every nursery and florist in every town in Europe."

Deliveries for the P1 are estimated for August 2024.

Note: I'm not a plant biologist, but if this works the way the company's white paper says it does, holy genetic engineering, Batman.

(Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who is a plant biologist or other relevant field!)

Also if you have any questions about stuff that isn’t listed, or also want a drawing with two characters, come chat with me! :D

(Also on weapons/props, no I won’t charge for like. A simple dagger or a notebook. That’s pretty simple ghjkdfhjdfh)

Did the fungi of the land during the Ordovician period get excited when the first plants started colonising the beaches? Did they get excited about the prospect of having an all new trade partner? Did they immediately welcome their alien friends with water and nutrients? Did the plants make the first move in the relationship? Were the plants glad to find that there was already someone there, to greet them? How did they make it work?
