I’m lucky enough to live in a region with light so intense I can pretty much ONLY grow cacti and succulents. My bear paw is a literal bush now, and my ponytail palm is nearing beginner bonsai levels. On the flip side, tomatoes can’t easily handle the intensity of the sun here…
Still, I’ve had a $50 set of plants die because I uh… poured water on it. Took me a long time to figure out what happened there.
Along a similar vein, a mycology forum would likely be of incredible help even to scientists!
A science-oriented cooking forum could be great, so long as it stays closer to Alton brown-tier science, imo!
But at the end of the day, people don’t often seek these out. That’s kind of the magic of reddit. You go for basketball and news updates, and you end up in a forum dedicated to hating on Uncle Joe from Willy Wonka. Nobody would ever seek that tiny forum out, but it can survive by embedding with more useful forums.
