Fungal Galaxies is #transforming from a personal journey into a #collaborative act. I'm looking for #expressions of #interest from any institute who would like to be part of this interdisciplinary project. Let's elevate fungal biodiversity and beauty! Let's connect now! lnkd.in/p/e2cSj2xZ #fungi

So happy to see my #FungalGalaxies in the city of #Liverpool for the #BritishScienceFestival The city is full of events from #September 10-14th 💡check out what's there for you and recommend it to a friend. Thank you BSF for making this real! #sciart #bsf2025 #fungifriends #moulds

Fungi are just as enigmatic as extraordinary!!! You MUST watch this ❤️ 🍄 #fungifriends #microbiology #visualarts #sciart #phd #postdoc #biodiversity #moulds #endophytes

Just returned from #FEMSMICRO2025, Milan (14-17 July). Amazing conference. I have had my biggest solo #exhibition in front of +2000 attendees, and the pleasure of giving a #talk about #FungalGalaxies. Thank you thank you! #SciArt #Microbiology #FungiFriends #PhD #Postdoc #Endophytes

#Art plays a vital role in #Science This fusion is #essential for vesiculating messages that reach #hearts as well as #minds, enriching our #connection to the living. Enjoy my video and explore the extraordinary, enigmatic, aesthetics of #filamentous #fungi. #SciArt #fungifriends #microbiology

IRISH FUNGAL SOCIETY ANNUAL MEETING 2025. Had a beautiful conference today with my prints and video! 🍄 #fungifriends #phd #postdoc #sciart #microbiology #irishfungalsociety

Some close ups of the 16 portraits exhibited the last two days. The paper I use is a lovely Photo Rag Fine Art Pearl (320gsm). #sciart #fungifriends #exhibition #microbiology #visualart

Bio-Art at the Ballina Arts Centre for the Mary Robinson Climate and Nature Conference

Exhibition at Mary Robinson Climate and Nature Conference went very well ✨️🍄 #sciart #macrophotogrqphy #microbiology #conference #phd #postdoc #fungifriends

Beautiful 1st day at Native Species Festival, Dublin Zoo. 😍 🌞 🍄 #fungifriends #scicomm #microbiology #phd #postdoc #sciart #stem #engagement #nativespeciesfestival

Sharing my photos today with my colleagues 😊 www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #microbiology #phd #postdoc #endophytes #macrophotography #fungifriends

Pre-exhibition proofs look gorgeous 😍 can't wait to see these fungi on A3! 🍄 www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungi #fungifriends #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky #macrophotography

Spring Fieldcap, Agrocybe praecox. I adore these edible #mushrooms. They create some incredible designs on their caps as they grow. Always reminding me of a fancy pastry, not dissimilar of pan dulce! 🤤🍄 #fungifriends

Let it snow, Penicillium ❄️ 🍄 www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungi #fungifriends #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky #macrophotography

Good morning, Penicillium fungi 🍄 www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungi #fungifriends #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky #macrophotography

Filamentous fungi 🍄 www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungi #fungifriends #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky #macrophotography

Fungi prints time 🍄 That black is so deep ⚫️ #fungifriends #sciart #microbiology #endophytes #phd #postdoc #macrophotography

Today, I am asking you. What do you see? I had an instant vision when I had it in my hands...and I can't get it out of my head. www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky

Hello, world 🌎 🍄 www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky

A beautiful fungus I haven't characterized yet! Makes me thing of that song by #Pendulum "Black tarantulaaa, don't play with my style, I might sting yaaaa! Black tarantula, you want me inject me bacteriaaa!" www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky

It's simple, I have the best looking cultures in town! 🍄🤩🍄 www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky #macrophotography #fungi

Happy #Easter 🍄 Sooo many new photos today! I need like one month full-time of editing now 🤣 www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky #macrophotography #fungi

Here is a beautiful #Penicillium sanguifluum 🍄 See the dark-red exudate?🩸 - sanguis = blood - fluere = to flow Sanguifluum would mean something like "a flowing of blood". Makes sense! www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky

Here is a beautiful fungal pathogen. (Ilyonectria sp.) www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky #macrophotography #fungi

Are we all ready for #Easter? Here is a lovely filamentous fungus that I haven't characterized yet 🍄 It looks like an #egg 🐣 www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky #macrophotography #fungi

Looks like the bottom of my coffee mug ☕☕☕ Lots of new works to edit... 🤩 I can't keep up with all these baby fungi 🍄 www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky #macrophotography

TITLE NEEDED !!! 🔬🍄 Say yours in a comment. An isolate of Ilyonectria sp. (a phytopathogen I isolated from healthy roots of B. sylvaticum) I don't usually post pre-edit photos, but today I make an exception ✨🤓 #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky

Assessing #phytotoxicity of fungal #exudates on seed #germination. Clearly inhibiting here (C- is the negative control). I love the way roots intertwined together, and kept the circular shape of the plate. Just add a bit of water if they have dried out, and they will separate perfectly.

Fungal Galaxies 2025 Tour: - Dublin, 17-19 May (Native Species Festival) - Ballina, 26-27 May (Climate Conference) - Milan, 14-17 July (FEMS Micro) - Liverpool, 10-14 September (British Science Festival) And more to be announced! 💚🍄 #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc

Penicillium twins... or minions? 😊🍄 I love how this endophyte grew up together! I pipetted the same water stock on the same plate, on two different spots, and magic happened! www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #macrophotography #stem #microsky
