#Caves can be dark and mysterious. Come with us to explore the surprisingly diverse hidden world of #fungi that lies unsuspected underground in the south of Portugal. @voltcenter.bsky.social's @kajsaroslund.bsky.social is analyzing the #VOCs from the cave and fungi.

Last weekend, VOLT joined the #Fungi Festival🍄🍄‍🟫.

Visitors got to hear a talk on hidden #fungaldiversity in #caves, and explored a collaborative booth. Here they could peek at fungal cultures under a microscope🔬, watch a short film highlighting the research, and learn about cave fungi and #VOCs.

The world-renowned primatologist Jane Goodall has died at the age of 91, her institute has said.

“Dr Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionised science,” the statement read. “She was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.”
