Looking forward to give this open, and public, lecture tonight! Will be possible to see online later if you miss it today. www.kva.se/evenemang/ny...

Highly recommended! Hanna’s team is doing ground-breaking research, Stockholm is a lovely city, and a Swedish PhD position is very attractive - an actual job with paid holidays, sick leave, parental leave and pension rights.

We have several open positions in my group, funded from the ERC Grant on the Early Sequestered Germline of Fungi. We search broadly for applicants at both PhD and master-level, with a dedicated interest in fungal evolutionary biology. Please forward and RT! Find the positions here: su.varbi.com

Mind blown by @hannajohannesson.bsky.social talk on fungal ‘fairy rings’ and their incredible early germline sequestration doi.org/10.1126/scie... #ESEB2025

It started as a master thesis project by Markus Hiltunen, and ended up in this publication in Science. What a fun project to work on! Thanks Markus - and all other coauthors, too, for a great team work! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Thanks, Daniel! It is a fantastic opportunity to scale up the work. I will soon post adds for people joining the project, so mycologists - stay tuned!

Great to have you in joining the group, Gulya! 😀

Our lab went out in the forest and helped our dedicated master student Mario to gather edible mushrooms for cultivation. Here is the end product! In particular proud of Hericium coralloides who fruited nicely for Mario in the lab! 😀 imafungus.pensoft.net/article/1422...

Our paper on the evolution of a bipolar sexual compatibility system in Marasmius is out! We show that Marasmius obeys to the typical Agaricomycete way to evolve bipolarity from tetrapolarity - by loss of mating compatibility function of the P/R locus. doi.org/10.1080/0027...

Happy #worldsoilday !! Have you ever looked INTO soil ? If no, join us at Soilwatching: Windows to the #soil let us peek at all its inhabitants. If you know the channel already - stay tuned, there will soon be two new episodes:) www.youtube.com/@Soilwatching

JOB ALERT! A fully funded PhD opportunity awaits at Uppsala University, Sweden, focusing on the evolution and biology of lichen photobionts. The position will involved field work, molecular lab work and data analyses (from meta-omics to pop genetics). #PhDposition www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

Thanks for the really great talk, Rike!

Got to give a talk on a BIG screen today! 🤩 Thanks @loreament.bsky.social for the photo and the #Mycology Nordics conference for hosting!🧪🍄🍄‍🟫

Thanks @edithhammer.bsky.social‬ and everyone else who attended and made the meeting so awesome! Look forward to the next one 😀
