As we close out Women’s History Month, we honor the trailblazing women in mycology and science who paved the way for discovery and innovation— allowing the women of OM to share the wonders of mushrooms with you! 🍄 Did you know? Mary Elizabeth Banning (1822-1903) was a self-taught scientist who identified 23 new species of fungi. 🍄 Did you know? Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) extensively studied fungi and even discovered how spores reproduce— though her groundbreaking work was dismissed at the time. 🍄 Did you know? Johanna Westerdijk (1883-1961) remains one of the most influential women in mycology. As the first female professor in the Netherlands, she not only advanced fungal research but also mentored a generation of female scientists. Their contributions continue to inspire us every day! 🤩 #womenshistorymonth #womeninscience #mycology #ommushrooms
