The 2025 IFS annual conference was held on Thursday 19th June at the Dublin Dental Hospital, Lincoln Place, Trinity Colege, Dublin. There were a selection of short talks from five invited speakers and eleven speakers who submitted offered papers. There were also thirteen posters presented, four of which were selected for a short flash presentation also.

The 2025 conference was also treated to an art exhibition called "fungal galaxies" by Diego Bianchi. Diego is a PhD student in the botany department of Trinity College Dublin, studying arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. In his video and print display, Diego showed the beauty and complexity of filamentous fungi. For more information on Diego's work, visit www.fungalgalaxies.com.
