Filamentous growth everywhere! It is really fascinating that no matter if you are the fungus that grows as a "mold" in bread or on decomposing wood, in very unrelated lineages; the trademark is filamentous network growth!

Boreal forest soils are major carbon reservoirs. But how does soil biodiversity shape the fate of this carbon? Thanks to the Finnish Cultural Foundation, @sanslan.bsky.social and I will untangle how soil fauna–fungi interactions influence carbon pools in Finland. #skr2026 skr.fi/en/news/trac...

Excited to share our new paper! (1/4) Fungi grow as networks, but how much these networks actually vary? Turns out: not as much as we think. Across four species, network traits stayed consistent, even when grazed by soil fauna! doing.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ele.70281

We often measure AM fungal colonisation assuming it tells us something about function. But… what does it tell us? A short Letter where I ask what root colonisation really means for plant growth, P uptake, and defence. #Mycorrhiza #fungi #plantmicrobiome nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
