Mycology Publishing - making the BMS journals work for you. YouTube video by British Mycological Society

This British Mycological Society webinar from December 2025 explores the BMS journals and the benefits of publishing your fungal biology research or mycology field studies.

📣 The deadline for this @britmycolsoc.org.uk special issue on fungal conservation has been extended to 15th March 2026.

Spread the word and don’t hesitate to contact @cfemycolab.bsky.social or me if you have any questions.

We’re looking forward to receiving your submissions! 🍄

I did this in person once. Met the guy who wrote the paper that changed my career and told him about it. He said, “wow, I didn’t think anyone read that paper!” 😂

1. You love aquatic fungi
2. You never heard about them but are curious
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I would love to connect with you! 🍄💧🤗

Find me next week during #livingdata2025.

Let's talk about #aquaticfungi #conservation.

How does a 🍄 genome change in evolutionary transition to life on another 🍄 ?

Congrats @ccgallen.bsky.social on first results on this strange Sporothrix we started studying during the pandemic. TLDR: +-1/3 of genome lost in switch to life in matrix of another fungus, but intriguing CAZymes gained
