Attention #mycologists ! 🍄

Today is #Taxonomist Appreciation Day and so we would like to thank all the taxonomists around the world for their contributions to science.

David Denning Niko Papon In my opinion yes. And to guide easy adoption/adaptation for diagnostic laboratories see our (@thefunguskidd Ali Abdolrasouli & Ferry Hagen 🔬🧫🧬) paper in Open Forum Infectious Diseases a year ago: doi.org/10.1093/ofid/o…

Another work by Jan Dijksterhuis from Westerdijk Institute on fungi and humidity dynamics is receiving a lot of attention at #Fungal24 😃

Our Westerdijk Institute scientist, Jan Dijksterhuis, is discussing with Chris Koon Ho Wong from University of Macau, about his research on heat-resistant ascospores #Fungal24

Super leuk! Het Westerdijk Institute De KNAW doet natuurlijk mee ! Wat voor schimmels gaan we vinden! Spannend…misschien wel een nieuwe soort! Dan kan die worden opgenomen in onze Collectie ( we hebben er al 130.000, maar er kan er altijd eentje bij 😉🍄). Jos Houbraken

Agree. Herbaria are our past, present and future. 🌿 Collections are truly priceless | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Gnomes growing in our fungi... 😱 (we did some outreach at a kindergarten last week 🍄🤣). #WeLoveFungi #mushrooms #FantasticFungi

Do you know that cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and kale are, in fact, the same species? Wonder what driver morphotype diversification between them? Check publication Nature Genetics from scientists at CAAS and Guusje Bonnema Wageningen U&R
