Giuliana Furci , a reference to follow ...

I admire Giuliana Furci, because she is the first female field mycologist in Chile, who has made her way in a little known area with strong masculine influence, which is admirable! 

She has been the main promoter of the study and protection of the fungi kingdom in Chile in the last decades, founding the Fungi Foundation, the first NGO dedicated to fungi in the world.  She has also helped to change Chilean legislation to recognize fungi as essential organisms when assessing ecosystems.



Biography

Giuliana Furci is Chilean and Italian, she studied aquaculture at the University of Los Lagos. It was while she was finishing her studies that on an expedition she found a fungus that caught her attention and when she wanted to find its name she could not find it. It was from that experience that she decided to write a book. He began to study mushrooms independently and then specialized with the outstanding American mycologist Paul Staments.



Furci published the books Fungi Austral: Field guide to the most colorful mushrooms in Chile 
 (2007) and Chile mushroom Field Guide Vol. I y II, (2013 and 2018) and in 2012 she founded the NGO FFungi in Chile, but they also have an office in the United States with the objective of promoting the work they do globally. 

The Chilean became the leader of mycology both nationally and internationally.

Eating is one of my favorite things to do, I really enjoy the food and discovering different flavors, plus the food allows it to be a moment where family and friends get together to enjoy and talk.  It's hard to decide on my favorite food, but I think I'll choose lasagna. Lasagna is a type of pasta that is usually served in overlapping sheets interspersed with layers of ingredients to taste, most often meat in bolognese sauce or white sauce and cheese. The preparation is very easy, cook the pasta sheets, then in a rectangular bowl add a layer of pasta and add meat with bolognese sauce previously cooked, and so on, layer by layer the same procedure, until the desired height.
