I'm a Biologist interested in Fungal diversity (especially Lichens and Macrofungi). I have experience in Taxonomy, Molecular Biology and more recently I started reading and practicing Genomics and Microbiomes.
There are many reasons to study and conserve Fungi. Despite their importance, the study of Fungi is usually overlooked by ordinary people and conservation groups. This is the main reason why I chose this group to study early in my academic career.
