TEXTILES MADE FROM FUNGI are a new bioprocessing achievement BUT did you know Indigenous People of N. America used fungal mats produced by Agarikon, Laricifomes officinalis, for textiles over 100+ years ago. New paper just out in Mycologia: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10โ€ฆ

So happy this is finally out and congratulations to this awesome team. I have been obsessed with this figure for over a year now and for very good reasons as these results bear implications that promise to fundamentally change the microbiome industry and associated therapeutic

You donโ€™t have to stay in your lane. You do need to check your blind spots before changing lanes. What gets people in trouble isn't tackling unfamiliar topics. It's being ignorant of their own ignorance. A mark of wisdom is entering new terrain with an extra dose of humility.

Great meeting with young forest pathology researchers. Lots of new information about micro-organisms' interactions in spruces infected by Heterobasidion and attacked by bark beetles. Thanks to prof. Fred Asiegbu University of Helsinki #forestpathology #bioticdamagemappingconsortium

Once a forest pathologist, always a forest pathologist โค๏ธ. It was a great pleasure to have Prof. Fred Asiegbu research and student group as guests. Scientific research produces solutions to enhance forest health and growth; the cornerstones of the forest industry's success.
