Hey, my girlfriend is looking for a discord server to learn about and chat about mycology. Can anyone help her? She doesn't want to talk about psychedelic mushrooms, but that's all that seems to be showing up for her. She just wants to learn science.
@MegaMichelle Following, since I'm looking for the same thing
I don't know about any discord servers, but maybe @sigrid does.
@MegaMichelle you can try iNaturalist discord, there is a mycology channel. I also started a mycology chat group on Signal, but it is mainly for EU context. Not sure where is she from.
@MegaMichelle try the #mushtodon hashtag?
Not as popular as it used to be, but there were a lot of posts a few years back.
She might try #FungiFriday. People post cool photos of fungi in the wild, I bet some of them are experts.
I cultivate mushrooms to eat.
Maybe this will be the thing that finally convinces her to join the fediverse. Thanks. Just in case it doesn't, I sent her the publicly available FungiFriday feeds from my instance and also dot social.
@MegaMichelle would also be curious!
@MegaMichelle Mycologists are out there and voluble, but maybe they are not on Discord.
