Harizah Nadiah Hamzah, graduated from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu with Bachelor of
Applied Science (Biodiversity Conservation & Management). She manages to gain experience and
developed her research skills while competing her final year project on floral biology and its relation to its pollination by bats at mangrove area. Harizah has been involved in inter-disciplinary
research which encompasses fungal ecology and social science for her master study on utilisation
of wild mushroom for food and medicine by indigenous communities. She has years of experience
in field work and teaching experience as a laboratory demonstrator for Mycology subject.
Aqilah Mohammad, PhD is a senior lecturer and a mycologist in the Universiti Malaysia
Terengganu. She currently holds a dual appointment position in the Faculty of Science and Marine
Environment and acts as the Head of Program in the Institute of Tropical Biodiversity and
Sustainable Development. Aqilah has been involved in fungal ecology, fungal diversity and ethnomycology studies and conducted fieldworks in several states in Malaysia. She is currently engaged
in the post- Covid19 industry-community project on mushroom cultivation for low-income communities nearby UMT main campus area. She has been actively publishing works on her field in
both local and international journals and academic books since 2011 until present and as co-editor
