Prof. Miranda Hart from the University of British Columbia studies how human activity impacts soil biodiversity and ecosystem function. Her research focuses on the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture, viticulture, and ecological restoration.

🎤 Join Miranda on Oct 12th at Audimax Uni Wien.

Co-founder and CEO of MycoFutures, Stephanie is turning fungi into fashion. They uses mycelium to create sustainable leather alternatives — where cutting-edge design meets environmental impact. 🌍✨

On Thursday, Stephanie will share her story in the Julius Raab Hall of the Austrian Economic Chamber.

Mark explores the ecology and evolution of fungi, using genomic tools. His team investigates how soil fungi respond to environmental challenges — from invasive species to global warming.

Catch his talk on October 12 in the Audimax of the University of Vienna. . 🎤✨

After studying botany and researching tropical fungi in Costa Rica, Wolfgang earned his PhD on fungal communication. At the Citizen Science day in @nhmwien.bsky.social , the founder of MyPilz will share MyPilz’s efforts to build a citizen science community in Austria.

Willkommen im Reich der Pilze.

🌾🌱🧪🦠🌍 New study out today! Please share! Meta-analysis of 302 globally sourced AMF inoculant trials. Only 12% of commercial products both boosted crop growth and had effective root colonization by mycorrhizal fungi. #soilscience #PlantScience #mycosky

How does variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity affect tree growth? What are the knowledge gaps to more fully answering this question?

See my review out today in Fungal Ecology: doi.org/10.1016/j.fu...

Excited to share our new study in @naturecomms.bsky.social showing that soil fungi, unlike bacteria, remain fully active under severe drought conditions, and also invest in synthesis of storage compounds.
Led by the amazing @loutsi.bsky.social and Alberto Canarini.

Hello Bluesky! Starting here by sharing a whitepaper on the potential of fungal biotechnology. This outlines well what we at mypilz.eu are working towards - using fungi for sustainable solutions for a resilient circular economy.
