Happy to share that the 11th contribution to the Fungal Systematics and Evolution series published by Sydowia is now online! Really glad to have had the chance to co-edit it with @dhaelewa.bsky.social and Irmgard Krisai-Greilhuber. Enjoy the read!

Just arrived at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi and already met some incredible people. Now, let's make sure fungi get the global conservation spotlight they deserve! 🍄

I’m currently preparing two talks on fungal #conservation in #Québec and I came across this interesting result while analyzing @inaturalist.bsky.social data: only about ~24% of #fungi observations in the province fall within protected areas. Food for thought!

After collecting 490 soil samples for carbon stocks and fungal eDNA analysis, surveying fallen woody debris over a distance of 1.4 km, and measuring over 1,000 living and dead trees, the second part of our field season is finally over! Two long and demanding months, but we did it! 🌲🍄

Very happy to have had the chance to present at the 5th Annual @canfunnet.bsky.social Conference yesterday about the state of fungal conservation in Quebec/Canada, and how citizen science-based organizations like @mycosphaera.bsky.social can help bridge gaps in fungal knowledge and conservation 🍄

J’ai eu le plaisir une nouvelle fois d’écrire pour le magazine Le Couvert Boréal un article sur les #champignons forestiers, où je donne quatre bonnes raisons de croire qu’ils sont bien plus qu’une simple histoire de comestibilité 🍄

Over the past month, we inventoried woody debris, standing live and dead trees, and stumps to estimate aboveground carbon stocks at the stand level across 35 old-growth #forest plots in northwestern Quebec. Next step: #soil sampling for #carbon stock and environmental #DNA analyses! 🍄 🧬

📣 Field season is on!
This year, we are exploring the links between variations in carbon stocks—in living biomass, dead organic matter, and soil—and belowground fungal communities across a gradient of old-growth boreal forests in northwestern Quebec🌲🍄

I had the chance this morning to be invited by Sonali Karnick on CBC Listen's All In a Weekend to talk about #fungi, their importance for our #ecosystems and daily lives, the #threats they face, and #citizen science.

Since March 27, 2025, 1,300 species of #fungi are now listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species! 🍄📢
⬇️📈 I made two slides to illustrate how the number of assessed and threatened fungal species has changed over time.
Another important milestone for fungal #conservation!

Happy #TaxonomistAppreciationDay! 🍄🦠🐞🌿
A massive thank you to everyone contributing to the accumulation of taxonomic and naturalist knowledge. Your contribution is truly invaluable — #taxonomy is the foundation upon which all our #biodiversity knowledge rests. Let's never forget that!
