From TIMOTHY MILES
During the Australian summer, most dead organic matter is soon colonised
by fungi. I am struck by the fact that this is not the case for the used
coffee grounds in the bottom of my plunger-type coffee infuser/filter, although
the conditions of warmth and moisture are optimal for fungal growth.
It may be worth investigating this low-technology material for its
possible biological activity.
