Dysbiosis and succession in the scientific infobiome
Nature Microbiology, Published online: 01 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02366-8The scientific information ecosystem is dysbiotic, but the conditions for ecological succession towards a more diverse, inclusive and resilient ‘infobiome’ are present. Scientists, institutions and platform builders should act together.

On David Attenborough’s 100th birthday 🎂 🎉, I recall the 2019 Red List workshop in the building named after him in Cambridge, UK, that inspired me to launch MyCoLAB. From 91 to 195 Red List fungal assessments in one week — and 1,302 today. Thank you for the inspiration, Sir David ❤️

One of the most-viewed PNAS articles in the last week is “From data to decisions: Toward a Biodiversity Monitoring Standards Framework.” Explore the article here: ow.ly/8rzI50YvlN7 For more trending articles, visit ow.ly/kWUf50YvlN6.
The biodiversity monitoring standards framework is a linked sequence of steps defined by the standards that each step adopts within a set of well-defined needs, principles, and ethical guidelines (Center). Every monitoring workflow would achieve an overall standard rating (potentially tiered) based on the standards adopted in each step. The monitoring workflow is implemented (Right) once the necessary resources, human capacity, technologies, and data architectures have been adopted.

A state-funded survey across California has uncovered hundreds of fungi new to science, part of a first-of-its-kind biodiversity effort. Often overlooked, fungi support plant growth and store carbon — knowledge that could guide conservation and forest restoration as wildfires intensify.

A help-wanted poster seeking volunteer mushroom collectors in California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. 

The poster provided some background info about the research project and study system and how folks can contribute if they are interested. 

REQUEST | Calling all mycophiles, naturalists, and citizen scientists in CA, OR, WA, and BC!

Going for a hike in the woods or a walk in your neighborhood park?
• Please keep your eyes peeled for the purple mushrooms of L.a-o!
• Collect the mushrooms* if you are able to access them safely.
• If you can, please take a photo of the mushrooms and the tree(s) you find them under.
*If you find a mushroom that is clearly rotten or moldy, please don't collect it.

"I collected some purple mushrooms. What should I do now?"
1. Please keep the mushroom fresh:
• Store in paper, not plastic.
• Keep cool/ refrigerate, but do not freeze.
• Store mushrooms away from light.
2. Email me to arrange pick-up, delivery, or shipment* of your sample.
* will cover packing and shipping expenses!

"What's in it for those who contribute to this work?"
• You will receive acknowledgement in presentations and publications stemming from this research.
• You will receive copies of journal publications from this research (data available upon request).
• You are invited to attend presentations of this research and to visit the lab at Stanford University.Page 2 of the help-wanted poster includes reference photos of the study organism and a map of where this species has been observed. All images and the map are sourced from iNaturalist.
