Près d’un tiers des champignons recensés sont menacés d’extinction theconversation.com/pres-dun-tiers… via @FR_Conversation

Ok #researchers, where are we going now? Twitter was nice. Time to leave, but where are you all going so I can join?

Has anyone heard of journal.trialanderror.org ? I was wondering where to publish a "failed" experiment with still interesting hypotheses and methods. I found this in a Nature news: nature.com/nature-index/n…

3 days, and 3 requests to review papers. How to decide which one to review? Time is lacking, and they always request in 2 or 3 weeks. I have other priorities, and you are not paying me (rather we pay when publishing... urgh).

Are you ready for this? #ICOM12 Since I'll be on maternity leave, I am recording my participation. Hope you will still enjoy my talk on spore traits!

There is only one occasion in life where I go from super happy, to anger, to laughing, to frustration within few minutes... And that happens when I'm grading exams.

Thrilled to be participating! I'll talk about spore colour and sizes. #ICOM12

@RebeccaBunn7 @RebeccaBunn7 found it! Something like this?

@coline_micro curious! Was it in greenhouse roots?

Any ideas what this is? It is growing on a root of Sudan grass (Sorghum sudanese) which was cleared and stained with trypan blue. Plant was grown in greenhouse in sterilized soil and I am assuming it is some kind of fungal pathogen. Thanks for any thoughts!

@RebeccaBunn7 Yes, I think so. Looked like an exploding cork, I can't find the picture unfortunately. It also had some curling hyphae. Maybe an ascus releasing spores?

Expeditions can be hard to maneuver as a mother & scientist. Intense & exciting to have my essay published in @nytimes exploring how Expeditions can be an Academic Act of Defiance Mapping fungi w/family @spununderground @nytopinion: tinyurl.com/5adc5cwf (photo 2011, Kenya)

Do you love fungi? Or at least like them enough to spend few years studying their traits in more detail? I am offering a 2-year post-doc position in my group working on my Vidi project on fungal traits and soil functions. Apply before April 28th! universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2024…

Looking at some spores from the agricultural fields today :)

@thecrobe Congratulations! That's awesome!

Our Observation of the Day is this Insect Destroyer #fungus (potentially in the genus Pandora) infecting a springtail, seen in #France by macroblaster2000. More details at: inaturalist.org/observations/2… #nature #insect

@DvRiD8f52XatGLr It looks so cool. So mysterious!!

@coline_micro I have no idea

その中は脂質のようなもので満たされているのです

Absolutely recommend reading. Paper on #Helotiales (#Ascomycota) and their role in plant nutrition. They can form ericoid-mycorrhizae, EcM or "mycorrhizal-like" associations. Very mysterious group. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@thecrobe Haha! Got the same feeling when I started lecturing, and now it turns out that I've learned so much from teaching others!

I see, something is wrong. Beautiful failed graph. #R
