I’m very happy to share our latest paper on arbuscular mycorrhizal traits. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Conservation funding β€œ82.9% was assigned to vertebrates. … while fungi and algae were barely represented at less than 0.2%” Proud to work towards conservation of #AquaticFungi β€” tiny but mighty! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I am very happy to share our article about synergistic negative effects of ash dieback and Armillaria root rot on the health and stability of mature ash trees A project done at @wslresearch.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...

Post-Doc position for 3 years available jointly between University of Tartu (Estonia) and University of Aarhus (Denmark) on soil microbiome and biogeography. Skills required: bioinformatics, metagenome analysis, microbiology Contact: [email protected]

Dual mycorrhizal plants are frequent in Australia πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Our study shows that tea tree symbiosis with AMF and ECM fungi varies across habitats, unlocking new potential for the industry www.doi.org/10.1007/s111... @spun.earth

Does anyone have tips on a good Restoration Ecology text book suggestion?

Hey BlueSky! I made a starter pack for folks working on mycorrhizal symbioses. LMK who else to include! go.bsky.app/285P8Tn

It's been one year since I started the Fungal Ecology Lab at the @univie.ac.at. This has been the most exciting and rewarding year of my life. I am so lucky to work with this team of talented scientists. Some highlights πŸ„πŸŒ²βœ¨

10 full length ITS libraries pooled from 1500 DNA samples isolated across 50+ climate change experiments globally! Ready for sequencing 🧬 What a huge week and incredible lab effort with unstoppable PhD Artin Zarsav & the one and only gel master @tommansfield.bsky.social at @cemess.bsky.social πŸ„πŸ„β€πŸŸ«

Many interesting ideas and theoretical models in this new PNAS paper. A PhD in my group has recently tested this fungal idea, and his paper was just accepted. More soon! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Fungal endophytes could potentially promote plant resilience to climate change. However, across 3 warming experiments (differing in age/species/climate), warming disrupted plant-fungal endophyte symbiosis, with stronger effects in leaves than roots. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Interesting new paper on inference with observational data in ecology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

How does variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity affect tree growth? What are the knowledge gaps to more fully answering this question? See my review out today in Fungal Ecology: doi.org/10.1016/j.fu...

Fungal Ecology Lab @cemess.bsky.social pancake night! We eat more than mushrooms 😊. @tommansfield.bsky.social @zhiyuanxu.bsky.social @giuliabubu.bsky.social plus many more not on BS!

We don’t need better stories. We need to be humble. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very interesting read even for folks outside of the US

New @egubg.bsky.social session on #mycorrhizae πŸ„β€πŸŸ«πŸ„and #forests 🌳🌲 awaiting your abstracts @anthomycota.bsky.social @eva-demullier.bsky.social

Join us in Vienna for EGU with this special session on mycorrhizal fungi!

Experimental drought decreased the vitality of ectomycorrhiza https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00468-024-02581-y

New paper published in @JournalSpectrum 😍 doi.org/10.1128/spec... co-authors: @pelleohlsson.bsky.social , Saleh Moradi, and @edithhammer.bsky.social We observed that the sole connectivity of a microhabitat can determine the function (substrate degradation) of a soil community. How? (1/5)πŸ‘‡

New publication out from the @fungi-lover.bsky.social lab! Was very nice to work on this together to explore resistance of final communities to global change! Fungi can be very tough! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
