Teaching the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi lab next week at @universityofkansas.bsky.social! I’ve prepped spores from ten different species to showcase the diversity in color, shape, and size. Fungal diversity is truly beautiful! 🍄🧪🦠🌏 Huge thanks to @invam.bsky.social for donating the materials!

February is the toughest part of winter for me. Can't wait for summer field work to begin and to visit my prairies! Check out this view of the Kansas flint hills from June.

Did you know there is a great database of diverse plant scientists created and maintained by @naascarabidopsis.bsky.social? 🌱 Fantastic resource for inviting speakers, reviewers, and applications! #PlantScience 🧪 #academicsky rdale1.shinyapps.io/diversifypla...

Are plants more likely to be ‘eavesdroppers’ than altruists when tapped into fungal networks? Read our new theory paper out today in @pnas.org w/ @stuwest.bsky.social @tomwscott.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... (photo T. Munita)

As a 100% grant-funded scientist, my entire career depends on research grants. I am scared-not just for myself but for all of us. Science is the backbone of progress—we can't afford to pause it even for a second. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

How resilient are AMF cultures? Gi. decipiens SCT711C and Paraglomus sp. SCT771G stored for 8 years at 4C still kicking and alive. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for you all folks!! Cheers

Gorgeous afternoon prairie hike with Bronk the farm dog. We had nearly a foot of snow! I love the way the ice clings to the grass stems and shimmers in the sun.

Matt Salomon and I just published a commentary on @lizkoziol.bsky.social’s recent paper in New Phyt on AMF products. These products are lacking - but whose responsibility is it to further their quality and function for agriculture - academia or industry? nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Lentils ❤️ mycorrhizal fungi. More nodules and greater plant biomass already evident on the inoculated plants at the bottom, compared to non-inoculated up top, in this Australian lentil variety 👌🏼

Check out this gnarly root nodule. Adam sliced a small one open and it was pink, indicating active bacteria and leghemoglobin. Do you think they taste like impossible burgers??

Lab is all set and organized to receive students, technicians and researchers from Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina and Peru to attend the X Workshop on Taxonomy of Glomeromycota. Four days learning about AMF spore morphology, spore wall, germinal walls, and how to grow them. Excited!!

🌾🌱🧪🦠🌍 New study out today! Please share! Meta-analysis of 302 globally sourced AMF inoculant trials. Only 12% of commercial products both boosted crop growth and had effective root colonization by mycorrhizal fungi. #soilscience #PlantScience #mycosky nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
