Some of my #TeamLaboul group members! From left to right: Hannes (intern who started today), me, Warre (50% research assistant, and PhD students Jay and Michiel de Groot.

New lab space for #TeamLaboul at UGent Wetenschappen! 🎉

Proud advisor with two of his students in #Maastricht! One presented on the EntomoFun 1.0 database, the other on our Beetlehangers.org database! #TeamLaboul #IMC12

Danny Haelewaters flying the flag for parasitic microfungi, incredibly understudied, with a focus on Laboulbeniomycetes and Leotiomycetes found in Africa. Great #TeamLaboul propaganda! #IMC12

Today at #IMC12, my student Michiel de Groot presented the first piece of lab infrastructure we bought: a hotdog roller, to facilitate standardized transmission experiments of #Hesperomyces between ladybirds🐞🍄🙃. #TeamLaboul

Almost at #IMC12 in mycologist-filled Maastricht, after some train delays. I'll be giving a presentation as the very last speaker on Tuesday as well as a poster on #TeamLaboul's Beetlehangers.org!

I will present two posters at #IMC12, one on our Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership)-funded #FunDive project on #fungalconservation in Europe, the second on the placement of #Laboulbeniomycetes among Ascomycota based on whole genome-scale data. #TeamLaboul

On our way to #IMC12, with many delays! Aimée Blondelle will present on 12 #newspecies of bat fly-associated #Laboulbeniales in the Early Career Mycologists Symposium (#1536) tomorrow. #TeamLaboul

Collecting Arthropods in Czechia! #fieldwork #microfungi #TeamLaboul

🍄 Interested in fungal #taxonomy, community #ecology, and #conservation? You have a penchant for understudied organismal groups and knowledge shortfalls? Let's meet up at the 12th International Mycological Congress next week! #IMC12 See you in Maastricht! 🇳🇱 #TeamLaboul

Back to the field to join our #microfungi team in beautiful České Budějovice, Czechia! #NSFfunded #TeamLaboul

Getting ready for #IMC12 in Maastricht! Finalized three posters today, ordered #FunDive stickers to hand out, and started preparing my invited lecture. #TeamLaboul

Here are Dr Morgan Hughes 🇸🇪 🇭🇷 🇬🇧 and my PhD student Polina Mironova, two amazing researchers who are currently doing fieldwork in Krka National Park, Croatia! #bat #batflies #teamlaboul

Hey, what do I see in the botanic garden at @UGent? One of my Malaise traps! Glad to see that my students keep research ongoing while I prepare for #MycoRiseUp in Kraków and fieldwork in #Honduras! #TeamLaboul

Some photos from our Arthropod-Fungal Associations #workshop ! Great talks and amazing people 🍀#entomophthorales #hypocreales #teamlaboul

Undoubtedly the largest group of people working with #Laboulbeniomycetes on the planet right now! #workshop #teamlaboul

This is the Japanese-native Harmonia yedoensis parasitized by a species of Hesperomyces. Perhaps Hesperomyces harmoniae, potentially an undescribed species. We are excited to receive specimens from ryôta🐞 for molecular work! #TeamLaboul

What an amazing time! See you pretty soon #TeamLaboul!
