Hola #MycoSky! 👋
🍄🟫 Check out some #fungi themed jewellery on this #FungalFriday!
I picked these earrings feat. #Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute logo, from www.karinwichers.nl/maakdesign,
during the 12th International Mycological Congress #IMC12.
🤔 Guess which fungus inspired this design?
You're too kind! I enjoyed meeting you at #IMC12, writing our #openletter to the #InternationalMycologicalAssociation, and look forward to the next time we get to hang out 🍄
Following #IMC12 there have been important discussions of inclusion, bias, & diversity in scientific societies & meetings. Here are 2 additional areas I want to highlight as opportunities for improvement that apply to any meeting.
🧵1/3
#AquaticFungi in the fungal extremophile symposium #IMC12
Driftwood, diatoms, climate change and Arctic Fungi!
@RamaTeppo
@IlicicDoris
Which #AquaticFungi are found in aquatic environments in Estonia? Wonder no more—visit Victoria Prins at Poster 158
#IMC12
How are surface and groundwater fungal communities related? Or ARE they related? Talk with Alice Retter
#AquaticFungi #IMC12
Chytrids that infect dinoflagellates in coastal blooms are host specific and so much more!
#IMC12
@Esther__Garces @MoSTFun_EU
Endophytic marine fungus—cool! Poster 46 #IMC12
I’m loving all the aquatic fungi at #IMC12! Here are some fungi I know too little about.
And more aquatic hyphos at #IMC12! Just wow!
Anguillospora crassa in Japan—interesting diversity in this genus! Poster 190 #IMC12
A look into mangrove sediment fungi
Poster 94 #IMC12 🧡
Wetland fungi from Thailand #IMC12
Poster 128. So cool! 🥳
Spectacular Mangrove-associated fungi from Saudi Arabia! #iMC12 poster 124
🥰
Important resources for #AquaticFungi! #IMC12
Which CBD targets must include fungi in order to be achieved? @CatiaCanteiro is guiding us in forming our fungal conservation priorities
@ProtectSpecies 🧡
#IMC12
Advancing Fungal Conservation a #IMC12!!!
@FUNACTION_EU @MoSTFun_EU @IUCNAquaFungi
.@NoahHensen doing #KickAssScience on thermophilic fungi. What do we learn from Sordariales? Ask Noah!
#IMC12
#AquaticFungi in the plenary session!
Kagami Maiko shows us the Mycoloop!
Chytrids ‘unlock’ the carbon in diatoms and transform it into zoospores that are eaten by other organisms. (For example). Important in lakes!
#IMC12
A big question we need answers to in our changing world. @DrHyfe
#IMC12
Come and find me to chat about the problematic taxonomy of Leucocoprineae and their relationship with ants! #imc12 #science #fungi #taxonomy #leucoagaricus #leucocoprinus #fungusgrowingants
Now to the Arctic thermokarst aquatic fungi! Mariana Kluge looks at Fungal diversity in relation to permafrost thaw.
#AquaticFungi #ClimateChange
#IMC12
Fungi in shallow lakes? Yes, and Caio César Pires de Paula has it covered! Surprising to me, the Basids dominate!?!
SoWaFun project is one to watch.
#IMC12
Want to know about planktonic Cryptomycota? Talk to Yvonne Bösch from the Technical University of Munich
#IMC12
Giant Viruses in #MarineFungi!
@fungaloha is exploring fungi involved in Viral Shunting — which sequesters ~3 gigatons of carbon per year.
He has positions open—go do this cool work in Hawaii!
#IMC12
Where are costal marine fungi found—every where they look @FungalDreamTeam
Eg) On and in macroalgae, Driftwood
They are decomposers, endophytes and more.
They can impact carbon sequestration!
#IMC12
Marine yeasts impacts on marine carbon cycle—how do the yeasts increase biomass?
#IMC12
@MarlisReich
Did you know fungi help control the algal blooms on ice sheets.
More algae=more light absorbed=more heat=melting
Fungi kill the algae = fungi good.
@LauPer89
#IMC12
.@Sally_mycology just introduced the @IUCNAquaFungi to the symposium on Aquatic Fungi #IMC12
I got chills.
So excited about this route to #Conservation!
