New study from @mvanderheijden.bsky.social lab, showing that many commercial mycorrhizal inoculants are snake oil. So important for this data to be published!

Between this, @lizkoziol.bsky.social and Matt Salomon’s work… well I think we make a strong point.

What a beautiful exhibit by the Lausanne botanical garden on peat bogs, with some ericaceous plants and even mention of their mycorrhizal fungi! 🍄‍🟫

Huge congratulations to my final @ethz.ch Master's student Linda Muller for completing her thesis! Across three research groups, two cantons, and a lot of bureaucracy, she tested mycorrhizal colonization in three invasive plant species. Spoiler - it is higher in invaded compared to native soils. 🌱🍄
