Massive congrats Adriana Corrales for winning the Maxwell Hanrahan Foundation award. I had the honor joining Adriana on an expedition two weeks ago to the Amazon basin. She is an inspiration to field biologists everywhere bit.ly/3zDwxa4 SPUN

Fantastic & very efficient sampling (40 samples) on Saturday with SPUN #RewildingChile, Rocío Urrutia-Jalabert & #MateoBarrenengoa on Alerce Andino National Park. We’ll uncover relationships between AMF diversity & tree aboveground biomass. Beautiful experience!

Excited to see our work featured here. We're dedicated to empowering 100 African scientists & 3,000 smallholder farmers to co-create solutions that protect undervalued African crops, boost food security & contribute to sustainable livelihoods. Thanks to our team & collaborators.

We need the best researchers from across the world to map underground #fungi before they're gone. But there’s a gap in the research coming out of the Global South. SPUN's Underground Explorers Program tackles this issue. Adriana Corrales explains how: 👉 bit.ly/3Nr1wtk

Our partners at Fungi Foundation have been working tirelessly to protect fungi both above and belowground. This is a massive moment for fungi. We urge all parties to sign this pledge to prioritize fungal conservation now. #COP16 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Great piece in Forbes about how SPUN is using ML technologies to document underground systems - and why this matters for fungal conservation. So proud of Giuliana Furci Fungi Foundation as they advocate for the Fungal Pledge at #COP16. forbes.com/sites/danielad…

Last chance to apply for this stellar post-doc position to understand nuclear dynamics in mycorrhizal fungi

Cutting edge research. Amazing supportive PI. Cool location. What more could you ask for as a postdoc?

'The whole project is very anti-colonial...it's like a revolution because we, as scientists in the Global South, didn't have a lot of participation & still don't...I thought “Why? Let’s change that.”' Adriana Corrales on the Underground Explorers Program bit.ly/3Nr1wtk

Fungi could save one of the rarest plants in the world. Na’u is a flowering tree on the brink of extinction in Hawaii. 🌸 Nicole Hynson, University of Hawaii at Manoa & SPUN Underground Explorer, thinks fungi may hold the key to na'u's revival. Shi En Kim, PhD, Smithsonian Magazine bit.ly/3AAX1JC

Passionate about #citizenscience? Keen on #fungi? Worried about Russia’s war in Ukraine? Let's take a look at our recent article about iNaturalist and amateur mycology in #Ukraine. Available at doi.org/10.5334/cstp.7…

Rob Ramos and @CamilleDelavaux visited us to sequence some of the collection. INVAM curators Jim Bever, Terra Lubin, Peggy Schultz and Liz Koziol spent hundreds of hours isolating #AMF spores, and Rob & Camille worked really hard to make sure this project was a success!

Delighted to being invited at the very beginning of the African Network of Soil Ecology lead by Jacob Ulzen and colleagues who I met trough SPUN at #ICOM12 International Mycorrhiza Society Im SO glad that our work at South American Mycorrhizal Research Network inspires/contributes to other Global South Networks!

Calling all myconauts, let’s bring fungal networking to Blue Sky. Come find me here: tobykiers.bsky.social Video time laspe of root (red) and mycorrhizal network (light blue) over 300hrs
