For most organisms, we rely on the ability to observe them from birth to death in order to fully understand their ecology, life cycles, adaptations, and interactions with other organisms. For fungi, t...

In this project, you will investigate the biogeography of above- and belowground fungi associated with several Scalesia species. We aim to develop an integrated view of diversity and distribution of t...

Failure is part and parcel of research, but discussing it sometimes seems to be taboo in science. It doesn’t need to be.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are key drivers of plant growth and nutrition, shaping the relationship between plant diversity and ecosystem productivity. In agroecosystems, AMF generally benefit...

Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this...

Mycorrhizal symbiosis improves the nutrition of most land plants and plays key roles in nutrient cycling and ecosystem function. To understand and leverage the biology of mycorrhizal symbioses for su....

Expérimentations à ciel ouvert avec des anneaux en carbone de 25 mètres, utilisations de données historiques, suivis depuis l’espace… les méthodes sont nombreuses et souvent complémentaires.

The Sun’s fiery surface, a tattooed tardigrade, rare red lightning and more.

Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidn...

There is an urgent need to develop microbial inoculants that can consistently improve crop performance as part of efforts to implement sustainable agricultural practices and reduce the environmental ...

With your help we want to start creating an overview of all mycological citizen science projects globally. Please complete this Google Form below, which should only take five minutes. We will enter yo...

Du slip enterré à l’analyse en laboratoire, des méthodes parfois insolites révèlent l’état de santé des sols, et soulignent son rôle vital pour l’agriculture.
