An example of the fungus Bryomyces velenovskyi on the moss Pleurozium schreberi where just a single leaf is severely infected and the rest are healthy.
ALT Bryomyces velenovskyi forms blackish spots on moss leaves. Zooming in, you can see the dark brown mycelial network of the fungus.

After finding the rare witches cauldron fungus in the northern most bogs of Minnesota, we now know WHAT is inside the cauldron. Serpentine hyphae!

Adapting to a new environment - *Aquatic* and Marine Mycology class coming in Fall '22 in landlocked NY.
What are some good ways to introduce #FreshwaterFungi into this class?

We (the MSA Student and Postdoc Section) are organizing a new series of interactive coffee hour meetings, “Musings and Mycologists”, around the journeys, adventures, and experiences of mycologists. Envisioned by our own post-doc rep @casettron

Lichenicolous fungi on a Peltigera species. I've only found immature asci and no spores but hopefully they'll produce some in a few days @obfuscans3

It’s #MushroomMonday! This week we look at Entoloma hochstetteri or the Werewere-kokako. Found only in New Zealand it’s unique blue color comes from the production of three azulene pigments. Azulene is an organic molecule which is also found in other non-related fungal species

Lovely to see Scarlet Elfcup, Sarcoscypha austriaca, appear so soon in local Woodland, usually mid January, considerable rainfall no doubt helps. Rare close up view of lovely soft Pink outer cups, and White stem. #MushroomMonday #mushroomtwitter #mycology #TwitterNatureCommunity

Fabulous fungi! Aseroe rubra, commonly known as the Anemone Stinkhorn bursting out of the mulch in my garden beds. These unusual, unpleasant smelling beasts are looking to attract flies to spread their sticky spores #fungi #fabulousfungi #gardening

#Funga cup-notes-1: #Leotiomycetes can be hairy! Hairs shape, biometry, ornamentation, ... have been used for long time to circumscribe genera and species in the class. Look how variable they are (figure from my #PhD). Right now, working in hairy Leotiomycetes!
