Honorary Uehling lab member and 6th grader presents on all things fungal at her class science fair. She credits her cousin Dr. Hayden Johnson for her inspiration to study fungi 🍄🍄🍄

Postdoc opportunity at UCDublin with Dr. Olga Lastovetsky. Highly recommended mentor and fascinating project. Applications due 3 June 2026

Prof. Adriana Romero-Olivares, UC Riverside, was doing incredible work on how fungi and ecosystems respond to global change. A rising voice, a dynamic scientist and educator, a young mother, wife and daughter gone far too soon. A huge loss. Her family, students and community are in my thoughts.

We had fun partnering with the Oregon Stater magazine to share a little bit about Mycology at OSU!! Each fall our Mycology class has a fantastic time collecting and identifying fungi on our field trips 🍄 🍄 🍄

its that time of year again! the students are launching with their biological data science skills. its so rewarding to observe

What a way to end #fungal26 We laughed and we cried and we learned so much A great reminder to look back and reflect on the past It can light the way to the future Thank you Nancy Keller for being a light 🕯️ in the field

Next talk in our #fungal26 session on emerging fungal pathogens is Dr Lisa Couper on genomes of environmental isolates of Coccidioides for tracing human infections

Sydney Glassman @sydneyglassman.bsky.social shares the Pyrophilous - or fire 🔥 loving - fungi What makes these fungi good at colonizing after a fire? Are they fast 🏃‍♀️ or thermotolerant 🥵 or can they eat special things 😋? #fungal26
