Fungus hooligans and mushroom coats professor not worried about outbreak

“I like things tidy, but I just can’t get there,” says Wösten about his room in a concrete colossus at Utrecht Science Park. On the desk are stacks of paper, an empty wine glass, a caulking gun. The professor no longer conducts research himself, but teaches and supervises ten PhD researchers. Fungal research “is quite tough, because nature does not allow itself to be guided”, says Wösten.
