African Fungus Day 2024
Thursday 23 May at 10h00
African Fungus Day, observed on 25 May, sheds light on the crucial role fungi play in African ecosystems and societies. Recognizing the significance of this date, mycologists in Africa designated it as African Fungus Day in honor of the formation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) on 25 May, 1963.
This year, Dr Neriman Yilmaz and Prof. Irene Barnes, from FABI will host the online event on 23 May, themed "Mycological Research in Africa: Exploring New Horizons". By fostering understanding and appreciation for fungi, the day aims to encourage conservation efforts and sustainable practices.
