This British Mycological Society webinar from December 2025 explores the BMS journals and the benefits of publishing your fungal biology research or mycology field studies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BagG...

📣 The deadline for this @britmycolsoc.org.uk special issue on fungal conservation has been extended to 15th March 2026. Spread the word and don’t hesitate to contact @cfemycolab.bsky.social or me if you have any questions. We’re looking forward to receiving your submissions! 🍄

I did this in person once. Met the guy who wrote the paper that changed my career and told him about it. He said, “wow, I didn’t think anyone read that paper!” 😂

1. You love aquatic fungi 2. You never heard about them but are curious 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 I would love to connect with you! 🍄💧🤗 Find me next week during #livingdata2025. Let's talk about #aquaticfungi #conservation. @funaction.bsky.social @biodiversa.eu @iucnaquafungi.bsky.social @iucnfungi.bsky.social

Are you a field mycologist, fungal biology researcher, or mycology student? Join our webinar on 11 December to hear how publishing with BMS journals can support both your career & the global mycology community. 👉 Book now: www.britmycolsoc.org.uk/mycology_pub... #mycology #research #publishing

Thrilled to share that I'll be starting my lab @uofguelph.bsky.social this September! I'll be joining the Department of Food Science and I'm so excited to study yeast diversity in this context!

Join us tonight for this public lecture, if you are in St. John's, Newfoundland!🍄 www.mun.ca/research/eve...

“Distribution of haploid chromosomes into separate nuclei in two pathogenic fungi”🍄🧬 a plot twist in the story of multinucleate filamentous fungi! Really cool and bizarre new work from the lab of Xin Li! @science.ubc.ca @ubcbotany.bsky.social @science.org www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Check out this amazing special issue. The editorial from Joe Heitman nicely sets the scene and there are some spectacular reviews from many mycologists. I am glad to have been part of this, including in the 'MyShroom' section! #Fungi

No plans for #BiodiversityDay? Join us to celebrate aquatic fungi diversity in this free webinar with talks on marine arenicolus fungi, freshwater lichens, fungi as bioindicators, & driftwood fungi. 💧🍄 🗓️ 22 May, 2pm UTC 🔗 Register: tinyurl.com/aquaticfungi... #AquaticFungi

Two weeks left for abstract submission and early bird registration for CanFunNet: canfunnet.conferences.uwo.ca/registration This virtual conference will be held Aug 6-8, 2025, register now if you plan to present!

Our theme is "From Local to Global" join us as we explore themes related to: - Fungal Plant Pathology - Medical Mycology - Fungal Genetics and Genomics - Fungal Ecology and Evolution - Big Data in Fungal Biology - Fungal Symbioses and more!

Our theme this year is "From local to global" and we can't wait to learn about a the amazing fungal research being done across Canada and beyond. We also want to hear about the impacts of your research whether those inform local decisions or have global relevance.

How does a 🍄 genome change in evolutionary transition to life on another 🍄 ? Congrats @ccgallen.bsky.social on first results on this strange Sporothrix we started studying during the pandemic. TLDR: +-1/3 of genome lost in switch to life in matrix of another fungus, but intriguing CAZymes gained
