#SummerSoilstice - citizen science mycology
If you follow our PhD student Jenny on Twitter you may have noticed she recently launched her second citizen science mycology project #SummerSoilstice, to take place on Summer Solstice day 2019 (Friday 21st June). This project is asking volunteers to send in soil samples from their garden so Jenny can culture spores from Aspergillus fumigatus – a fungal species commonly found in soil due to its important role as a decomposer – and determine their resistance to azole fungicide
