Laser scan of a #root. Plant in blue, symbiotic mycorrhizal fungus in red. You can see the #fungi swelling and bursting within plant cells, where they release nutrients. By partnering, plants gain a prosthetic #fungus and fungi gain a prosthetic plant. . 📹©MSheldrake

For the front door of my future lab 🤩

Excited to see this out New Phytologist First first-author paper: Changes in soil fungal community composition depend on functional group and forest disturbance type. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Nobody: Ecologists: library(“vegan”)

Microbiologists will be like "I know a place" and take you to a rotting log

Got me again lol

A great paper of Jean C. Rodriguez-Ramos, Justine Karst and coworkers on the changes of fungal guilds driven by forest disturbances!! watch the first author explaining it at southmycorrhizas.org/reading/july-2… nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

#Fungi / #Mycology twitter - does anyone have cultures of (I know all EcM) Amanita rubescens, Xerocomellus pruinatus, Scleroderma citrinum, and Hydnotrya tulasnei? I would be so grateful to get a sample! MycoCosm Mycological Society of America

Happy day!! 😃

Hey Twitter! I'm new but I took some time to write about my experience as Black woman in academia and wanted to share: macleans.ca/opinion/canadi…

Shifts in ectomycorrhizal exploration types parallel leaf and fine root area with forest age by Wasyliw and Karst besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Love always wins 🌈

Disturbances like wildfires, drought and logging affect fungi that pine forests depend on for survival, according to U of A research with implications for forest management: folio.ca/wildfires-logg… #UAlberta #ecology #forestry

What an upgrade.

Root fungi on old trees (~400 yo) differ from young trees (~100 yo)--> 1) conserve ancient trees, 2) old trees may be functionally isolated from younger trees wrt ecto networks authors.elsevier.com/c/1d0OH1L~GwQw…

There may be a time and place for soil transfers in restoration, but this was not it. Soil transfers from intact to disturbed boreal forests neither alter ectomycorrhizal fungal communities nor improve pine seedling performance Jean C.
