Mat Fischer. kicks off #mycology2025 with the question “What if Fungi win?” - and the sobering conclusion that they are too good at drug resistance to lose! Big need for surveillance and stewardship. @youngecmm.bsky.social @matfischer.bsky.social

Fungal biofilms are usually: not just fungal; not just a planar film and not just biological (they may collect heavy metals). Gordon Ramage and Riina Richardson describe the medical challenges of treating fungal biofilms. #mycology2025. @youngecmm.bsky.social
