Hi new followers! I am Danny, a mycologist interested in diversity, ecology, host-parasite interactions, and conservation, #newPI of Laboratory of Fungal Ecology and Evolution at the Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and head of #TeamLaboul. Also dad to my 7yo daughter Luna. 🍄🐞🦇
And as if it won't be busy enough, I am writing another large proposal with colleagues from the University of Warsaw. So many ideas, too little time! #newPI
One of our student offices is ready with desks and chairs. There are some unoccupied seats, but not for long... The lab has open positions for 1 postdoc and 2 fully funded PhD students!

Glad to have been in Drøbak, #Norway to teach during the workshop on #Laboulbeniales. This was funded through an #Artsdatabanken project, which will hopefully see a continuation.

Amidst the craziness that is being a #newPI and teaching classes, we also have four children and are renovating a house. Living life at the fullest. This evening I'm taking a break from the rate race: just a dinner & evening stroll 👌

Incredibly proud of this manuscript. Two reviews came back with no – no! – input other than praise for our writing. This is my PhD student Libelje's first chapter presenting the first checklist of fungi from #Honduras. So excited to seeing this published! 🍄❤️ #LFEE #LuminaQuaeruntur #newPI

Seeing Rhodotus palmatus (common name: wrinkled peach) in Białowieża National Park this week reminded me that I should finalize an old manuscript on this fungus in the USA. Spoiler: American collections of R. palmatus are a different species! #studentproject #summerschool #taxonomy 🍄🍑
