🍄Have you ever seen truffle-like #Russulales?
Some Russula skip the classic mushroom shape (stipe, open cap and gills). Instead, they form enclosed, truffle-like fruitbodies! Join the new #FunDive campaign and help us map them and sequence their genomes fun-dive.eu/en/get-invol... @biodiversa.eu

How do tropical #trees deal with droughts? The answer is published today in @science.org
Our pantropical #treering analysis revealed 2.5% growth reduction during #drought years. Yet, growth declined by >10% in 1/4 of 500 study sites, and in hotter & drier regions.

Pantropical tree rings show small effects of drought on stem growth
Increasing drought pressure under anthropogenic climate change may jeopardize the potential of tropical forests to capture carbon in woody biomass and act as a long-term carbon dioxide sink. To evalua...

Excited to share our new @nature.com paper mapping global mycorrhizal richness and rarity, led by Michael Van Nuland. Over 90% of richness hotspots lie outside protected areas: a critical gap in conservation. Proud to contribute as part of the @spun.earth consortium! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Global hotspots of mycorrhizal fungal richness are poorly protected - Nature
Machine-learning algorithms trained on 25,000 geolocated soil samples are used to create high-resolution global maps of mycorrhizal fungi, revealing that less than 10% of their biodiversity hotspots a...

Our PhD student Aneira Williams participated in the first #FunDive Barcoding Campaign in Warsaw. Together with 17 other participants, she extracted DNA from 216 fungal specimens and prepared 192 samples for Nanopore sequencing! Quite an exciting first week of the PhD! @jzpawlowska.bsky.social

This week, we marked National Caatinga Day. The Caatinga–a unique and vulnerable biome found only in Brazil, covers 10% of the land. 🇧🇷 Underground Explorer @ariadnefurtado.bsky.social and team are in Brejos de Altitude, studying which fungi aid in local habitat maintenance and regeneration. 🍄
