Happy Halloween! We’re showing off two spooky fungi from Kew. First up, found by a Fungarium Sequencing Project team member, this Cordyceps militaris is parasitising a moth larva!

The beautiful jack-o-lantern orange fruiting body is visible above ground, while the larva is buried beneath the dirt 🪦

What do you find when you sequence 7,000 fungi? We’re starting to find out… 🍄🔬

At this year’s British Mycological Society conference - a key meeting point for the UK’s fungal research community - we shared some of the first discoveries from our Fungarium Sequencing Project.

I attended my 1st British Mycological Society conference this week and presented the latest from FSP.

Thanks to all the organisers and attendees. I really enjoyed the diversity of topics (evolution, medicine, agriculture, architecture(!)) across current fungal science research. #BMS2025
