Catriona Halliday and I looked at #CrAg #LFA cross-reactivity among #basidiomycete #yeasts. Everyone knew about Trichosporon. But Cutaneotrichosporon, Naganishia, Filobasidium and even Ustilago can also potentially cross-react. academic.oup.com/mmy/advance-...

A List of Things Eaten by Scientists 🧵

Climate change is accelerating the spread of fungal diseases. Warm, humid environments + resilient spores = ideal conditions. This is a future we are already entering. #ClimateChange #FungalInfections #OneHealth World Health Organization

Dermatophyte enthusiasts, I recently read that a second ITS sequence type of T.indotineae had been identified. But can I find it now? Of course not! Can someone help me out? @drjorhodes.com @arnaudjabet.bsky.social @fhagen.bsky.social @aabdolra.bsky.social @sarah-delliere.bsky.social

Hey babe, wake up. New STI just dropped.

THINK FUNGUS! Think ASID Mycology Masterclass! A big thank you to the faculty who have given up their time and shared their knowledge with all of us. An even bigger thanks to our Convenor Sarah Kidd for the hard work and dedication to put the program together. Congratulations!

I think these are Bridal veil mushrooms, a type of stinkhorn. Found under a palm tree in far north Queensland

A new 'second tier pathogenic' species within the Sporothrix pallida complex, isolated from an Australian cat. Sporothrix davidellisii, named for Australia's finest mycologist. Such a pleasure to work with @fhagen.bsky.social @amrodrigues85.bsky.social and others on this. doi.org/10.1093/mmy/...

Cool poster by Chin-Yen Yeo and Tom Gottlieb on the use of poetry as a health promotion strategy at #Antimicrobials2025 #ASA2025. I wondered if my recently published mycology haiku fit the bill? journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

#Antimicrobials2025 day 2 @thefunguskidd.bsky.social updating us on dermatophytes. T. indotineae as an emerging multiresistant pathogen. And TMVII as an STI?

Inappropriate and unregulated use of combination topical products containing antifungals, steroids and sub-therapeutic doses of antibiotics has resulted in spread of resistant strains of dermatophytes across Indian subcontinent - Dr Sarah Kidd #Antimicrobials2025 #AntifungalResistance #AMR

I am deeply disappointed by the subdued response of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (@idsainfo.bsky.social) to the dismantling of public health structures, both in the US & globally Here's what I wrote in the closed listserv (response: 🦗) in hopes of stimulating discussion here #IDSky

Thread of scientists drinking their feelings.

How cute is this little guy? Saksenaea vasiformis, made by @microbecharmer.bsky.social

When Aspergillus goes a bit bonkers. It’s giving me Medusa vibes.

Croissants!

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

We're excited to share our fungal artworks, commissioned for the Hidden World of Killer Fungi exhibit! These captivating visuals bring ground-breaking research to life. Now available online shorturl.at/N090i Thanks to @darrenthomson.bsky.social #MedicalMycology #Fungi #MycoSky #FungalFriday

Some Bipolaris species are now Curvularia species. But what should micro labs report? Fungi that resemble traditional Bipolaris species in human clinical specimens can be reported as “Curvularia species”. (Also, I am now published poet) #MedMycoSky #IDSky

who would have dreamed that a haiku would be published in PLOS Pathogens?

Can colleagues amplify this appeal to journals and journal editors to open accounts on Bluesky, please? @MicrobioSoc @TrendsMicrobiol @CellCellPress @JBacteriology @jbiolchem @Nature @ScienceMagazine @PNASNews @MolMicroEditors @NAR_Open @NatureMicrobiol @NatureComms @ASMicrobiology 🙏 🦠🧪🧫🧬

👩‍🔬Women in STEM🧪 - a meta BlueSky starter pack 🧵: I've seen a lot of newcomers asking for them. Starter packs are not (yet) referenced, unfortunately. Here's what I found so far. Add your own below! 1️⃣ A+ scientists by @sarahhird.bsky.social : bsky.app/starter-pack...

Anyone know of a Women in STEM starter pack?

Dear IDTwitter refugees I made an #IDSky starter pack which makes it easy to find accounts of ID clinicians, medical microbiologists, ID researchers, ID epidemiologists, ID focused reporters, and of course journals ahead of the curve. Let me know if I missed you! go.bsky.app/LnAQjdq
