Francisco Calaça

Mycologist (Mycology)

Brazil

​I’m a dung fungi mycologist interested in research on the ecology, taxonomy, and biology of dung-inhabiting fungi and myxomycetes, with a focus on understanding the role of these fungi (and like-fungi microorganisms) in ecosystem functioning. I’m a scientific communicator who spreads mycological science to the public, through the Mykocosmos Project, on social media, and through activities aimed at promoting science outreach.
