Mycelial architecture - even more beautiful than that of plant roots!

BREAKING! 🚨 Species population numbers have plummeted by 69% on average since 1970. Our life-line is in danger💔 🌍EU needs strong nature restoration & deforestation laws - now! 🌴🌳 👉wwf.eu/?7780966/WWF-L… 👈 #LivingPlanet #LPR2022 #Together4Forests #RestoreNature

Very happy to have been able to participate both as audience and speaker in #bioscan #NOReDNA host in beautiful Trondheim. Full of very interesting presentations covering eDNA for biodiversity! Still lots to learn!

Thank you to all speakers at the #BIOSCAN #NOReDNA for making this a successful event! Special thanks to our invited speakers Kristine Bohmann @HaondArnaud Francesco Ficetola and Tomas Roslin for inspiring and fascinating presentations.

Lot's of fresh wind at Systematic Biology Programme. We are welcoming new PhD students Adrian Baggström, Monica Guilera Recoder, and Nina! Also our new Master students Michael Bruun-Nielsen, Hedda Ericsson, Kevin Nielsen, and Mirjam Lichtner! 🥳🎉

We are welcoming our two new members Monica Guilera Recoder and Adrian Baggström who both started their PhD program this month at the The Biodiversity Data Lab at @UU_University! Great to have you on board!

I know it's already been a month, but I'm happy to announce that I got a PhD position with The Biodiversity Data Lab at Systematic Biology Programme to work with Tobias Andermann on eDNA methodologies to assess fungal and insect biodiversity😁🍄🍄🐜🐞

My favorite fossil come to life

Happy to announce that I've been accepted for a talk at 12th International Mycological Congress (IMC12) ! Very exciting!🥳🥳

Soon arriving to Maastricht for the #IMC12 conference!🥳 Presenting tomorrow at 12:20 at the Symposium 05 TAXON NAMES AND TAXON COMMUNICATION IN EDNA ERA!

In the past years, environmental DNA has proven to be a highly efficent technique in identifying new fungal species. But, are DNA sequences accepted as type equivalent? Important decisions for the future of mycology will be made this week in #IMC12

Animal-fungi interactions at 12th International Mycological Congress (IMC12) : Niko Johansson Niko Johansson from Luomus shows that birds disperse a diversity of ECM, saprotrophic fungi and lichens using microscopy and metabarcoding #IMC12

What if in a few years the new trend was to wear clothes made with fungal material? No sewing is needed and no waste is created. What if houses were built using fungi mycelium, proven to be as strong as stone! Very interesting talk by Han Wosten here in #IMC12

Very interesting project done by Sandy Maurice on the interactions of wood-decay fungal communities inside the trees. Happy to say that I had the luck of participating during my internship with Oslo_Mycology_Group Do not miss it, poster number 035 in #IMC12

Renewables enthusiasts, check out this fungal battery concept 🍄 ➡️ 🔋 that won The Future is Fungi award at #IMC12. #FungalFriday
