I’m very much looking forward to continuing my work on Russula together with an international team of Russula specialists—both academic and non-academic—whose combined expertise is essential for building a truly comprehensive and robust treatment of this genus.

This project contributes to one of the most important critical mycological reference series in Northwestern Europe, providing authoritative taxonomic treatments. This work is supported by the Stichting dr. E. Kits van Waveren Fonds.

🌟 New position announcement! 🍄

I’m happy to share that I’ve started a new position as a Postdoc at @naturalis.bsky.social, within the Understanding Evolution group. In this role, I will be working on the next volume of the Flora Agaricina Neerlandica, focusing on the genus Russula.
