Today I received updates from my two research teams who are doing remote fieldwork in #Honduras and #Panama, capturing bats, collecting mushrooms, insects, and entomopathogenic fungi, and conducting surveys with local communities. Very, very proud PI ❤️ #TeamLaboul #LFEE

VERY proud of this one. Possibly our most significant contribution to #Laboulbeniales systematics thus far (but 2 other important works are underway). Integrative data show clearly that #Stigmatomyces should be split in six genera—all we need to do this are sequences for the type species!
