"Unge vil ikke studere uden for storbyerne", sagde de højtråbende i den uddannelsespolitiske debat. Den her historie burde få meget mere opmærksomhed❗️ DR.dk/nyheder/indland/ny-dyr… #uddpol #dkpol #publicservice

Also did a test due to my closeness with the great OMG mycologists. However, nothing to see there.
Dear colleagues who attended @IMC12NL. I was feeling a bit odd with mild flu symptoms. Just did a test and that was the result. Please make a test and if positive, avoid spreading the virus 🦠 👍🏻

We seized this great opportunity while attending @IMC12NL to spend some good moments in Maastricht between current members and alumni @Oslo_Mycology and NHM @biovitenskap.

It's been great to see the Mycena story evolve since I joined the journey several years back. Nicely presented by Christoffer @cbharder on #IMC12! @IMC12NL @Oslo_Mycology

Good job. Please, please let us have more destruction of the Russian war machine.
A russian submarine went to the bottom of the Black Sea. Ukrainian defense forces successfully attacked the B-237 "Rostov-na-Donu" attack submarine in Sevastopol's port. As a result of the attack, the submarine sank. Great work, warriors. The Black Sea fish will enjoy their new home.

Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv. One of the most important CHILDREN’S hospitals not only in Ukraine, but also in Europe. Okhmatdyt has been saving and restoring the health of thousands of children. Now that the hospital has been damaged by a Russian strike, there are people under the rubble, and the exact number of casualties is still unknown. Right now, everyone is helping to clear the rubble – doctors and ordinary people. Russia cannot claim ignorance of where its missiles are flying and must be held fully accountable for all its crimes. Against people, against children, against humanity in general. It is very important that the world does not remain silent about this now, and that everyone sees what Russia is and what it is doing.

Colourful, convoluted, and so important to soil health - our paper combining the musings of mycologists, molecular biologists, and ecologists on the evolution of mushroom morphology is now out: tiny.cc/ehkzyz

Our Mycena paper has earned a journal cover! Incredible work, Christoffer @cbharder and co-authors!✨
Mycena has superstrange genomes: a big expansion but no WGD, up to 97k genes. Some gene influx from ascomycetes by HGT. Most novel genes are conserved. Great collaboration with @fmartin1954 @jgi @Vmate5 @DrHyfe @cbharder Cover @CellGenomics shorturl.at/fhwPm @BiochemBrc

Cool that our Mycena olivaceomarginata, that little Arctic thing with the biggest genome of all mushrooms, has made it to the cover of Cell Genomics. Thanks to Arne Aronsen for a great photograph.

#RP_INRAE Les mycènes sont un genre de champignons décomposeurs très communs dans les forêts et se retrouvent jusqu’en zone arctique ! Quel est le secret derrière leurs facultés d’adaptation ? Grâce au séquençage du génome de 24 espèces de mycènes, une équipe internationale de scientifiques dont #INRAE a découvert qu’ils possèdent des génomes géants. Ceux des espèces de la zone arctique sont même 2 à 8 fois plus gros que ceux des espèces vivant en zones tempérées. 👉Ces résultats suggèrent que de très gros génomes codant de larges familles de gènes favorisent l'adaptabilité écologique de ces champignons décomposeurs. Un atout face aux changements globaux. ➡️url.inrae.fr/4bqUazk

The worlds biggest - and incredibly complex - mushroom genomes are finally published in @CellGenomics. It only took 8 years of work! Thanks to everyone involved, and to @Carlsbergfondet , @MSCA and @Crafoord Foundation for generous funding.
A new episode in our series on the evolution of mushrooms & #JGI #1KFG project has been released today in @CellGenomics ... Unearthing bonnet mushroom evolution. A huge collaboration worldwide @cbharder @shingomiyauchi @Vmate5 @laszlognagy @DrHyfe @INRAE_France @UMR_IAM

"THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!" For nylig holdt jeg tale om biodiversitet ved det De Økonomiske Råds miljøøkonomiske årsmøde, og jeg kom bl.a. ind på nationalparker. "In 1999, OECD proposed that Denmark should designate national parks to protect nature and biodiversity. The same idea was put forth in the Wilhjelm Report in 2001, they suggested large natural areas with grazing animals and untouched forests. In 2007, the first national park was designated. Now we have... who cares how many national parks. Because, you know... what is truly unique about Danish national parks is that the exact same rules apply inside as outside! There is simply no separate legislation to protect nature and biodiversity in Danish national parks. It's just lines on a map. It's the Danish model, as we call it. We have national parks that are neither more nor less protected than anything else! Many biologists and experts have said, 'listen, this won't work,' but we've been told that Denmark is a special country and that nature and humans can easily coexist everywhere. However, over time, it has become obvious that biodiversity and nature cannot thrive with 'business as usual,' and now we have reached the point where the politicians have chosen to designate national parks with a certain level of nature protection, namely what we call NATURE national parks. Here they are: They cover 0.7% of Denmark and have caused one hell of a debate." Det var på det tidspunkt, at en svensk professor rakte hånden op og med en fin svensk accent sagde "what you say makes absolutely no sense". #dkpol #biodiversitet #dkgreen #dknatur

Honoured to have had a small part of this great piece of research on horizontal gene transfer in Armillaria fungi. :)

New research challenges traditional notions of fungal roles! 🔬 Mycena, a saprotrophic genus, invades healthy #PlantRoots & shows varied interactions beyond saprotrophy. Lab findings reflect field conditions. Read it #OpenAccess: ow.ly/qevX50P2F0w #FungalEcology @cbharder

Yes!!! Kørte lige forbi Høvelte mod skoven idag. Kiggede efter Violetrandet Ildfugl og fik fotos af rødplettet blåfugl - troede jeg! Et nærmere kig på fotos kunne afgøre at der igen flyver Isblåfugl! (ikke set siden 2007 i hele området) 1 god nyhed @MortenDDHansen Yay!

We had a fun and informative SystBio mini-excursion this week to UU library Carolina Rediviva where we had the privilege to learn about Linnaeus from Magnus Lidén. More at  iob.uu.se/research/researche… And  onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
