Three Fusarium species discovered in 🇿🇦 Eastern Cape dairy pastures reveal potential implications for cattle health.
One species was named Fusarium mariecurieae to honour Marie Curie and recognise support from the @MSCActions project @mycobiomics.

4/n Additionally, we provided the first formal description of #Fusarium goeppertmayerae, since the original authors had not included one. Two more species remain undescribed due to poor morphological development in culture. 🤔 @mycokeys @Fabiteam1 @mycobiomics

3/n We formally described them as:
🔬 Fusarium cumulatum (Equiseti clade) – named for its abundant chlamydospore formation
🌿 Fusarium pascuum (Camptoceras clade) – from Latin pascuum (pasture)
🧪Fusarium mariecurieae – honoring Marie Curie & @MSCActions support @MycoKeys

1/n 🥁We named a newly discovered #fungal species, #Fusarium mariecurieae, in honor of #MarieCurie (1867–1934) and in recognition of support from the @MSCActions grant @mycobiomics Naming a species is a taxonomist’s ❤️ language.

So happy when bookstores have beautiful books about #fungi 🍄 and something beautiful to add to my bookshelf 📚 excited to learn more about the science and secrets of these beautiful little organisms 🤓

Yayyy what a big day for Applied Mycology Group @Fabiteam1 We welcomed two interns, Annah and Steven, and two honours students, Unathi and Kerryn, to our group. Also celebrated the first student publication of the group written by Jenna-Lee Price📝⭐️#mycology

FARMER'S INSIDE TRACK: With agriculture always lurking somewhere in her thoughts, it's no wonder that research analyst Shivan Bezuidenhout eventually gave into the mesmerising appeal of a job she regards as meaningful.

On a little adventure today 🥼⚗️ Ultra-performance liquid chromatography, mycotoxins, and drug discovery with very impressive equipment and on our campus! 😍
Grateful for the @MSCActions @mycobiomics partnership between @Fabiteam1 and Austrian partners at AIT and BOKU, Tulln. Really learning a lot and get to meet great people! 🍄🧫🧬🔬
