It's National Oak Day! Today we celebrate the most iconic of our native trees. They are ancient guardians of our biodiveristy, supporting well over 2,300 species, many of which live in deadwood and hollows that are engineered by decay fungi! #fungi #actionoak #OakDay2023

It's peak season for observing some of the key heart-rot fungi on oak right now! If you can tell a chicken of the woods from a beefsteak fungus, then you could be helping us with our research into these magnificent trees and their fungi https://t.co/lg9GX9vyJ5

For those of you that missed it, or for anyone interested in taking part, the recording of the training webinar for the Oak Tree Fungus Survey project is now live! https://t.co/N0KmowV1cC

A little reminder about tonights free training webinar for the Oak Tree Fungus Survey at 7pm. More details at: https://t.co/wIQCVIPw5S and: https://t.co/lg9GX9vyJ5 #Fungi @WoodlandTrust @WildlifeTrusts @ActionOak @royal_forestry @FungusProf

Can you can tell a chicken of the woods from a beefsteak fungus? Then we'd love you to get involved in our app based oak tree survey project! We're running a 1 hour training webinar on 14th June at 7pm for anyone that's interested. Details at: https://t.co/WcLj3opIc4 #fungi

It is finally out! The genome sequence of the chicken of the woods fungus, Wright R et al., published by @WellcomeOpenRes, https://t.co/YYlQfCdQsj #Fungi #genomics @darwintreelife

If you have an interest in oak trees and fungi, then check out our community science project! We hope to get you involved with helping us to better understand these majestic trees and the fungi that shape them! https://t.co/lg9GX9vyJ5

I've been putting together a course with some leading mycologists and tree specialists, focusing on oaks and their associated fungi. Check out below for more details!

Fungi are critical to human and planetary well-being but represent a meagre 2% of global conservation priorities. Please consider adding your name to this statement calling for legal protections for fungi within conservation frameworks.

Sci-art is such a great tool to communicate science... Nature is such a great inspiration #sciart #ambrosiabeetles

Check out this Radiolab podcast about a slightly alarming strain of Candida. A nice compact overview of the hypothesis of mammalian body temperature protecting us from fungal infections too. https://t.co/eosVZuPU68

Today is the UK launch of Entangled Life, Merlin Sheldrakes new book about all things fungal. Having checked out some interviews I think this is going to be a great read and important in further popularising the hidden Kingdom/Queendom. Check it out!

Thick fungal cords (rhizomorphs) forming around a well rotted root on a fallen red oak in Bute Park today.

Interesting experiments into initiating early heart-rot in beech trees, to create vital biodiverse habitats.

Check out this great talk from London Fungus Network with with Giuliana Furci .

'Wondrous... an astonishing book.’ Delighted to see this profile in The Observer today. Many thanks @MsRachelCooke and @ObsNewReview. https://t.co/nso19ngXyV

#Fungi are a diverse and ancient kingdom 🍄 A new #genome-scale phylogeny of 1,600+ #species from the #fungal kingdom has enabled @YuanningLi1, @shenxingxing1, @RokasLab, and others to glean insights into their early #evolution, radiations, and more 🔗: https://t.co/7fb5I22e7m
