People are still out there describing new species of fungi from mushroom specimens and I am absolutely here for it. Congratualtions Adriana Corrales and colleagues! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

When the US govt terminated the National Nature Asst, @phillevin.bsky.social + the author team were determined not to let that stop them. They re-organized, set up an advisory committee, found funding…and now the brand new Nature Record is open for public comment. 👏🌳👏🌲 Check it out (link below)!

Really enjoyed watching this paper unfold. The idea that selection operates at multiple levels is fascinating, controversial and difficult to test. But not untestable nor untested. César and colleagues show this well!

Really happy to see this one live. The microbes matter a lot. Microbial composition explains more variation in productivity than a massive global change factor like co2 fertilization.

Really excited to host Dr. Susan Cook-Patton tomorrow. Susan is one of the top scientific voices on natural climate solutions, continuously pushing new analyses that help us understand the potential of natural climate solutions, as well as their limitations. This webinar is free and open to all!

🚨 Last day to submit is THIS Wednesday, July 30, at 11:59pm Eastern Time (03:59 UTC)! 🚨 agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pr...

Who lives underground? Find out now in our new paper published in @nature.com. Key finding: 90% of predicted mycorrhizal biodiversity hotspots lie outside protected areas. Read here: buff.ly/WmDqAP3 🧵

After a bit of a hiatus, Funga's speaker series is back, and we are so excited to be starting with The Nature Conservancy’s Lead Reforestation Scientist, Dr. Susan Cook-Patton!

Super cool talk by @colinaverill.bsky.social on the effect (and manipulation) of soil microbiome (mycobiome) on growth of forests. Basically doing for forests what fecal transplants do for managing C diff

Y'all if you read a great scientific paper or see a great talk, consider writing the author and tell them you think it's awesome. It's really easy, it builds relationships, and you probably make their day.

Measuring enhanced rock weathering is hard, but essential for quantify its CDR potential. Best practice is to measure soil pore water alkalinity with lysimeters - and this is very hard. New work by Gregory Jones and Bonnie Waring finds a much simpler way! www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6...

Been reading up on the "super donor" framework in medical microbiology FMT work. So much relevance for soil transplant work that considers the provenance of donor ecosystems. This review has been particularly helpful. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

[1/3] The Arbor Day Foundation's Impact Fund was developed to invest in leaders and startups working to grow what's possible with trees. We are thrilled to share that ADF has partnered with Funga, to explore what is possible with soil biodiversity restoration! www.arborday.org/news/arbor-d...

Check out this great general review in Nature on “Fungal impacts on Earth’s Ecosystems - by the CIFAR consortium. @mrccmm.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk @youngecmm.bsky.social @ishamycology.bsky.social @funguscrous.bsky.social @msgerc.bsky.social @microbita.bsky.social @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social

Really enjoying this piece led by @DrSuzanneSimard pushing back on the criticisms of common mycorrhizal network research. Highly reccommend! www.frontiersin.org/journals/for...

Wonderful visit at Funga in Austin, TX Thanks @colinaverill.bsky.social for the tour and the great conversations on fungi and the future of forestry!

Hello, I think we need a starter pack on mycorrhizal ecology, don't you think? I started on one, who did I miss... go.bsky.app/bqwe5h
