Please amend the advert referring to the late Peter Jordan (died of bowel cancer last year) as the country's 'leading mycologist'.
1. Peter was a forager, not a forayer, and definitely was NO MYCOLOGIST, let alone a leading mycologist !
2. Peter was totally irresponsible, allowing people on his forages to pick the whole wood bare.
3. Peter was good at finding edible fungi, but not good at identifying them correctly.
4. As County fungi recorder for Suffolk, I had to reject half of his records for a whole variety of reasons.
5. The REAL mycologist – Michael Jordan, had to correct many mistakes in Peters books during proof reading.

BioNyt Videnskabens Verden (www.bionyt.dk) er Danmarks ældste populærvidenskabelige tidsskrift for naturvidenskab. Det er det eneste blad af sin art i Danmark, som er helliget international forskning inden for livsvidenskaberne.

Bladet bringer aktuelle, spændende forskningsnyheder inden for biologi, medicin og andre naturvidenskabelige områder som f.eks. klimaændringer, nanoteknologi, partikelfysik, astronomi, seksualitet, biologiske våben, ecstasy, evolutionsbiologi, kloning, fedme, søvnforskning, muligheden for liv på mars, influenzaepidemier, livets opståen osv.

Artiklerne roses for at gøre vanskeligt stof forståeligt, uden at den videnskabelige holdbarhed tabes.
