ATTN: everyone at #Fungal26 ! Thursday night is official beach party night!
Yessss 👏 Lauren McIntyre👏 calling in everyone to thoroughly cite *all* the tools, packages, databases, etc. that we use in our papers. Cite in the refs, not just a web link! #Fungal26
👏 thank you Anne Pringle & Soleil Young for highlighting the history of sex/gender in Biology (only since 1974!), the inaccuracy of 🍄“23,000 sexes”, and encouraging us to eliminate anthropocentric gender/sex from non-human biological sciences #fungal26
Currently at my first @gsb2026.bsky.social conference! Loving this discussion about QUALITY over quantity - we need more [funding for] fundamental science, b/c that’s what populates our databases that *so*much* microbial eco is based off now.

Woohoo!!! Here we go! Excited for my 5th Fungal Genetics Conference! This is such a special conference for me and I’m so excited for a fun(gal) week with some my favorite fun-guys! #Fungal26 @hyphaltip.bsky.social
New paper from our lab! ⤵️
Could these strange and under-studied fungi help forests regenerate after wildfires?
Had a fantastic time chatting with mycologists @mofisch.bsky.social, Matt Traxler, and Karen Hughes for this article. 🧪
There is a new volume in The Fungi Sessions!! I loved the first album by Hannah Read that she performed at Fungal Genetics two years ago.
So excited for a part 2 and there are microscope videos of hyphae accompanying the songs in spotify 😍. 🍄🎶
