Check out our new manuscript in @NAR_open that explores the evolution of a new class of #fungal secondary metabolite gene cluster. You can even look for your favorite species on our webpage: https://t.co/uoMLLF9IXq

well that was quick!🤣

[Kai Blin @kaiblin]

@GrantNickles18 Well, thanks to the great description in the paper, that wasn't too hard. Look out for these in the antiSMASH 7.1 release

Pedro Pascal as mushrooms.

A thread.

[Milton T Drott @MTDrott]

#Invasive plants and animals get all the limelight. But a deadly #mushroom is spreading east after being introduced to the US west coast. Our work opens the opportunity to explore why.

What makes the 🍄☠️death cap☠️🍄 so deadly?

Our paper @ISMEjournal explores the #toxin gene family of #Amanita phalloides showing differences between mushrooms, #invasive and native ranges, and revealing ancient origins

A recent podcast featuring @dianiluciano explores the impact of storage bins in #postharvest diseases caused by #fungi! Where do your spores come from? 🍄

#Mushroom 'hunting' in #Ukraine represents a recapturing of some normalcy despite stark reminders of how far from normal things are.

If your 'format-neutral' submission portal has word/character count limits, rigid figure upload options, or requires specific section headers, I think you're missing the point 🤔

📢I'm excited to announce that my lab is looking to hire a #postdoc to explore the evolution of fungal pathogenesis in cereal crops through the use of both in-vitro experimentation and bioinformatics.

We took a deep dive into some fungal genomes and found Starships, a new family of giant mobile elements carrying host genes and 100s of kb 👜🧬 We learned a bunch (👇🧵) and can't wait to keep exploring 🚀🍄✨🔍 kudos to @Hulk_Vogan Horacio L-N @fungolution and the whole team

How does #superbug #Candida auris compete with C. glabrata in a hospital 🏥 environment?

Our publication in @JoF_MDPI shows common disinfectants can change the balance and contribute to #antimicrobialresistance

The #fungi are under attack! 🍄🐛

How do organisms that are unable run away flailing their hands protect against #insects?

A new insight article by @MTDrott in @eLife examines how fungi defend themselves at different life stages

News this morning about a lab-evolved fungus 🍄 is #unBEElievable! #Fungi to the rescue for our pollinator friends:
