Academic interests
I work on the nutrition, ecology and genomics on the large basidiomycete genus Mycena (hettesopp). I circumnavigate the Scandinavian peninsula (and islands!) from Svalbard to Stavanger to get my hands on the good and most interesting samples and cultures, preferably from Arctic and subarctic environments.
Courses taught
Background
I am a mycologist whose main asset is the fascination by mushrooms/fungi that I developed early in my life. The basis of my professional work is a solid knowledge of fungi at the organism/species level that I combine with modern molecular genomics methods using full-genome DNA and RNA sequencing and amplicon sequencing, as well as other ecological methods such stable isotopes or growth experiments.
