5/ The expedition didn’t end in the field. Most of the team then travelled to 🇿🇦 to join the Mycobiomics meeting at #FABI, continuing discussions & strengthening international networks in fungal research @ms-fungi.bsky.social @funguscrous.bsky.social @nerimanyilmaz82.bsky.social

4/ From forest floors to lab benches to conference halls, this collaboration is a powerful reminder of how global partnerships drive science forward, especially in uncovering the hidden world of fungi. 🍄💡

3/ Each day ended with lab sessions: processing samples, exchanging techniques, and diving deep into the shared passion for fungal diversity. These moments of collaboration were as valuable as the time in the forest. 🔬💬✨ @ms-fungi.bsky.social @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social

1/n 🥁We named a newly discovered #fungal species, #Fusarium mariecurieae, in honor of #MarieCurie (1867–1934) and in recognition of support from the @MSCActions grant @mycobiomics.bsky.social Naming a species is a taxonomist’s ❤️ language.

Sebastian has actually co-authored 4 papers from our portfolio in the @MSCActions project. Many congratulations!

Sebastian Pfütze has just finished his PhD defense at #tubraunschweig about bioactive compounds from mushrooms. 2 summa cum laude PhDs in 1 week (and 3 in a month) do not happen often in the same research group. We are very proud! Congrats & all the best for your future career!
