Abstract

Just over two years ago, Edward Lewis, personnel officer, Mid Glamorgan HA, described in the Journal how a training programme for head and deputy head porters was received in Wales. At that stage only the first module had been devised. Now with Nigel Bryant, lecturer in the department of management studies, Polytechnic of Wales, and William Brown, Welsh Office advisor, he reports on further progress.

Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery.

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions in health and biotechnology. Also, opportunities for training in fungal biology and genomics are lacking, creating a bottleneck that hinders the recruitment and cultivation of a talented future mycological workforce. To address these issues, we developed Myco-Ed, an educational program offering training and scientific contributions through genome sequencing and analysis. Myco-Ed empowers students to pursue careers in fungal biology while improving fungal resources. Myco-Ed has been piloted at 12 institutions (15 classrooms) ranging from online e-Campuses to R1 universities, resulting in hundreds of fungal observations and many new high-quality reference genomes.
