Our educational tool Case of the Month has been renovated. Guess the identity of this fungus donated by Daniel Elad,
and find the solution in the Forum in your member area.
Our Gallery of Mycological Heroes has
also been renovated with some new portaits of people that have brought medical
mycology forward. Further donations of obituaries are appreciated, please send
your material to de.hoog@cbs.knaw.nl.
