Mycologists: “No, The Last of Us isn’t real”

Also mycologists: “If you have a moment can you please help us round up this plague of fungus-infected zombie bugs from hell? Kthxbye”

Alright, #Mycology and #MarineBiology world - I would love to get a few more students in my Coastal and Marine Mycology class this summer - please help me spread the word!

Can be interesting for FUNACTION MoSTFun lovers!

What’s killing Sjögull (Nymphoides peltata, fringed water lily) in Sweden? Stay tuned as I work to find out.

Will you be in Sweden this summer? You can help by reporting on what you see. Details coming soon.

In case you were worried, spring really is coming to Uppsala. Feels like it could go either way, every year

We are happy to host Tan Yen Yi from Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum for our next #MEEGene LIB seminar on Tuesday 07.05.2024 15h CET. She will talk about 'Natural history collections in an era of genomics: a bird's eye view of Singapore'. To join, drop us an email: [email protected]

#BiodivFunc ?
-PREVIEW- We’re already working on our 2025-2026 call for research. The focus will be on restoring ecosystem function, integrity & connectivity!
Details won't be available before spring 2025, but setting up a research consortium can take time – So now, you know! 😉

New #biodiversity resource💻📚

UNEP-WCMC has produced a guide supporting government systems that organize how biodiversity information is produced, analyzed & made available to people.

Available in EN, FR and ES ⬇️

For our final post of Earth Week, we are going under the sea to explore an understudied and often under-appreciated portion of the fungal kingdom: marine fungi!

📢 Survey: Do you know of any biodiversity monitoring community? (monitoring specific taxa or habitats)

We want to foster collaboration and harmonisation across communities and build more robust monitoring schemes. Help us connect the dots!

#AquaticFungi and MoSTFun in the spotlight Global Center for Species Survival this week.
A moment of appreciation for how 🌟amazing🌟 it is to have this kind of attention on the tiny fungi that play key roles in our aquatic ecosystems.
#DreamBig

I am pleased to announce that I am now Docent SLU. My thanks to those who critically reviewed my teaching, research, & achievements, to my colleagues for their support, & to my Department and Division at SLU, where I have the possibility to grow in my science and career.

Love the focus on #AquaticFungi !
Yes—this is an aquatic mushroom, the only one I know of. What about the other >6000 known species of aquatic fungi? There is lots of diversity, but you have to look closely. They are very very small or microscopic. Wonderful 🧡

Tomorrow our free corse! Still time to register here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

I needed this today. Perfect time to pause and remind yourself of how to handle anxiety or anxious feelings.

Perfect cartoon to describe the way CNN & its brand partners celebrate Earth Day. I'm pretty sure they were not trying to be ironic--would have made a great The Onion headline.
It is my new 'don't shop' list.
