How do I write scientific papers, reviews, grants, and abstracts? Sharing 30 years of experience in one practical table. ⬇️

youtube.com/shorts/GG-nef2… Lobaria pulmonaria is basically a living forest archive 🌿 A slow-growing lichen that fixes nitrogen, cleans the air, and can take decades just to mature. If it’s around, the ecosystem is doing something right. #lichens #mycology #fungi #biology #forest #ecology #climate #Mushroom #lobaria #tourist

What are the words❔

Exactly

From life-saving medicine to gourmet cheese – #VAAM #MicrobeoftheYear 2026 is 🌟Penicillium🌟 This brush mold 🧫gave us penicillin & launched the antibiotic era 💊, and is a common workhorse in biotech labs🧪 And it makes your cheese delicious🧀🐭! #MikrobeDesJahres #MdJ

The Mycologist deserves mushroom- shaped cotton candy 🍬 😍 🍄 #fungi #mycology #mushrooms #Xmas

In this video, we explore how mycoviruses could become powerful, self-spreading tools for sustainable agriculture — reshaping plant health from the inside out. #fungi #mycology #agriculture #ecology #aspergillus #education #academia #phd_life #phdone #forest #mushrooms #virus #mycovirus #crop #food #mycovirus #Science #nature #Farming #fungus #plants #foraging #Health #biology

You wake up and see THIS… what’s the first thing you’d say?

#FungalFact 34: youtube.com/shorts/xfl2drv… I just shared a video on #Kurokawia palmulata. For almost 200 years, it was known under the wrong name, and only recent DNA work revealed its real place. A simple #lichen, but a good reminder of how our understanding changes over time. 🍃 #mycology #fungi #lichens #Mushrooms #FungiFriday #Education #phdone #Forest #foraging #academia #DNA #nature #science #microbiology #biology #ecology #YouTube #LichensFromAtoZ #lichenology #botany #Moss

youtube.com/shorts/XBHMnBu… #FangalFact 33: Jamesiella is one of those lichens you could easily walk past without ever noticing. It hides among mosses in damp forests, delicate and quiet — and honestly, we still know very little about it. A small mystery in the lichen world. #Lichenology #Fungi #lichen #mycology #Forest #nature #science #biology #foraging #FungiFriday #SaturdayVibes #mushrooms #education #phdone #YouTube

I found this POOPshroom in forest of North Macedonia )) It might not win a beauty contest, but don't judge the fungus by its crust !:)))) #Ganoderma is a legendary medicinal fungus used for centuries for immunity and longevity. #fungus #mushrooms #mycology #foraging #Forest #hiking #nature #science #weirdo #FungiFriday

#FungalFact #32 youtu.be/9-bKdXCxz3Y?si… Hidden inside every growing hypha lies a microscopic powerhouse — the #Spitzenkörper. It’s not just a blob at the fungal tip — it’s the traffic controller, architect, and GPS of fungal growth. 🍄 Without it, no filament, no mycelium, no forest network would exist. This video will uncover how this mysterious vesicle cluster orchestrates the very architecture of life beneath our feet. #fungi #mycology #Mushrooms #foraging #FungiFriday #Science #nature #NatGeo #academia #aspergillus #hyphae #mycelium #phdone #microbes #conidia #youtube #Education #microbiology #biology

#FungiFriday Have you ever seen a lichen that looks like a tiny starburst of salt? 🌟 That’s #Imshaugia! Pale, compact rosettes brightening pine bark in open forests. New short video is out now 👇 youtube.com/shorts/VNyqxw7… #mycology #fungi #lichens #mushrooms #phdone #FOREST
