Fun With Fungi

1. Introduction

This is a Hackuarium Wiki Page on the "Fun With Fungi" project.

We hope to put more discussions and contributions into this Hackuarium Wiki very soon.

2. Key Topics

• What are fungi
• Growing mycelia
• DNA-Sequencing of fungi (with first results already)
• How fungi communicate
• Save the bees (with fungi). A follow up of the Hackuarium "BeeMos" and ''OpenFoodRepo DNA'' projects

3. Participatory Research

Yngvar at a mushroom conference!  Please note all the samples on the table behind him!

We hope to do more metagenomic analyses for participatory research on mycelial biodiversity, including the intriguing possibility that mycelia might help save the bees!

Our latest crowdfunding campaign launched on 8Feb23, and we hope it helps us do this seriously. (with extraction of complex samples and MinION kits etc needed for the barcoding, as for our OpenFoodRepo DNA work...)
