Just returned from #FEMSMICRO2025, Milan (14-17 July).

Amazing conference. I have had my biggest solo #exhibition in front of +2000 attendees, and the pleasure of giving a #talk about #FungalGalaxies.

Thank you thank you!

Some close ups of the 16 portraits exhibited the last two days.

The paper I use is a lovely Photo Rag Fine Art Pearl (320gsm).

Today, I am asking you.
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.

Makes me thing of that song by #Pendulum

"Black tarantulaaa, don't play with my style, I might sting yaaaa! Black tarantula, you want me inject me bacteriaaa!"

Here is a beautiful #Penicillium sanguifluum 🍄

See the dark-red exudate?🩸
- sanguis = blood
- fluere = to flow

Sanguifluum would mean something like "a flowing of blood". Makes sense!

TITLE NEEDED !!! 🔬🍄
Say yours in a comment.

An isolate of Ilyonectria sp. (a phytopathogen I isolated from healthy roots of B. sylvaticum)

I don't usually post pre-edit photos, but today I make an exception ✨🤓

Assessing #phytotoxicity of fungal #exudates on seed #germination. Clearly inhibiting here (C- is the negative control).

I love the way roots intertwined together, and kept the circular shape of the plate.

Just add a bit of water if they have dried out, and they will separate perfectly.
