It was such a great time a couple weeks ago getting to go to Gulaga Gold Truffles and digging for these amazing fungi as part of the NSW Fungi Feastival!

One year from today, we will be welcoming the @mycorrhizaims.bsky.social mycorrhizal community to the International Conference on Mycorrhiza in Cairns, Australia! Remember to mark your calendar, and keep up to date via the website: www.icom2026.org

@westsyduhie.bsky.social Romika Shrestha is monitoring uptake of radioactive Phosphorus in pine colonised by different strains of an ectomycorrhizal fungus. Based on the localisation (aqua-yellow coloration), the different strains have different abilities to move this nutrient into their hosts

For Australian Domestic students interested in pursuing a PhD in molecular mycorrhizal studies, please consider applying for a scholarship-funded position in my lab (tinyurl.com/jxcdhp3p) - our lab is a diverse group studying plant-microbe interactions from genes to landscapes

I sometimes smile when automatic Alt Text tries to understand microscopy images. Today it said described this as "a collage of blue and red spots"...or it could be a viability stain of a transgenic root 😆
