Receiving sequences from our #pine endophytic #fungi is like unlocking a whole new world: Ephemerocybe, Phialocephala, Auricularia... How different from the huge proportion of Fusarium in avocado roots. So exciting! 🍄🤩

Today I locked my office and went to work to the meeting room, in an attempt to free some time to write. 👩‍💻 Surprisingly, it worked! Even though the door was open, people assumed I was busy and didn't interrupt. 💪 On the plus side, I had a great view of the garden! 🌺
