A curated soil fungal dataset to advance fungal ecology and conservation research in Australia and Antarctica Scientific Data - A curated soil fungal dataset to advance fungal ecology and conservation research in Australia and Antarctica

How do you study invisible organisms, such as fungi, from the environment?

We provide a benchmarked meta-barcoding dataset for soil fungi in Australia and Antarctica, combined with +100 predictor variables to fast-track data exploration, research and conservation.

Our newest research in @nature.com

We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains

Well done Mycological Society of America! I'm proud to be a member of this organization and to serve upon its council. A lot of organizations pay a lot of lip-service to DEI policies, but the MSA really makes tangible DEI advances for its membership and the Mycological community as a whole. Bravo!

Frontiers | Opinion: Response to questions about common mycorrhizal networks Common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) are networks of mycorrhizal fungal hyphae held in common by at least two plants (Horton 2015;Rillig et al. 2024) and were ...

Really enjoying this piece led by @DrSuzanneSimard pushing back on the criticisms of common mycorrhizal network research. Highly reccommend!

Pictured here are some of our foothill oaks, pines, and mushrooms that live with them. Mushrooms here often form under the leaf litter, forming little mounds lovingly known as "mushrumps". Scroll through the pictures to see some Lactarius alnicola (group) and Cortinarius cisqhale being uncovered.

If you aren't from central California, you might imagine it is always hot and dry here. Perhaps a terrible place to find mushrooms... Well, let me dispel that misconception! Central California is filled with the most amazing forests, and mushrooms!
