Volunteers in habitat conservation: what role do they play?
Volunteers in habitat conservation: what role do they play?
Environmental volunteering represents an irreplaceable resource for the conservation of fungal biodiversity: volunteers, through their constant and passionate commitment, actively contribute to the protection of the natural habitats that support diverse fungal species. The analysis will focus not only on the practical aspects of volunteering, but also on its scientific, social, and educational impact within the context of modern mycology.

Porcini Mushroom Sorbet: Let your creativity run wild!
In the contemporary culinary landscape, experimentation is fundamental to the evolution of taste and preparation techniques, and this is where a recipe that challenges convention comes from: porcini mushroom sorbet. It's not simply a dessert, but a sensory experience that unites the worlds of mycology and modern pastry making. Through a detailed analysis of each aspect, we'll explore the scientific basis, nutritional properties, preparation techniques, and sensory implications of this innovative creation.
Yeast engineered to produce protein without animals
Yeast engineered to produce protein without animals
A quiet yet powerful revolution is taking place in the food production landscape, fusing the principles of mycology with the most advanced genetic engineering techniques. This article aims to delve deeply into the world of engineered yeast, the microorganisms reshaping our approach to protein production. For mycologists and mushroom breeders, accustomed to manipulating complex eukaryotic organisms, these developments represent not only a scientific curiosity but a logical extension of their expertise in a cutting-edge field. We will analyze every aspect of this technology, from its biological foundations to practical applications, with particular attention to the influence of critical environmental parameters such as light, its specific spectra, and photoperiod management—elements familiar to anyone engaged in controlled cultivation.
