Just arrived on @bsky.app!

I love #filamentous #fungi.

The idea to create #FungalGalaxies was inspired by my #PhD on #endophytes for use in plant growth stimulation.

I would love to do a PostDoc with a passionate team. If you'd like to talk with me, get in touch. I would love to #connect.

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!

Hi Diego, I'm a self thaught and emerging visual artist. To be my first video, I'm really happy with the result.

What programs would you reccomend me to explore for the next videos?

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! 🤤🍄

Top view of a brown mushroom cap that is splitting as it grows, creating deep white crevices/canyons that make a unique design on the cap. Surrounding the mushroom is woodland forest floor duff, with pinecones and moss.

Side view of a brown and white mushroom, showing more detail of the mushroom cap with its deep grooves and ridges. Cones, moss, and some branches surround the mushroom.

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.
