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! 🤤🍄 #fungifriends

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.

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! www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky

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 ✨🤓 #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #stem #microsky

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.

Penicillium twins... or minions? 😊🍄 I love how this endophyte grew up together! I pipetted the same water stock on the same plate, on two different spots, and magic happened! www.FungalGalaxies.com #sciart #fungifriends #endophytes #microbiology #phd #postdoc #macrophotography #stem #microsky

#Fungi are my source of #inspiration. This #abstract is called " Soul Twist". It's a #digital artwork inspired by the portrait of a fungus that I re-imagined. Many of you ask me if I know the ID of my fungi. Yes, I do. And whenever I don't, I will do via #DNA extraction. www.FungalGalaxies.com
