New study from @mvanderheijden.bsky.social lab, showing that many commercial mycorrhizal inoculants are snake oil. So important for this data to be published!

Between this, @lizkoziol.bsky.social and Matt Salomon’s work… well I think we make a strong point.

Expérience incroyable, je suis passée sur @franceinter.fr dans l'émission La Terre au Carré, pour parler de champignons et de la liste rouge de l'UICN avec Florian Kirchner.

Sale temps pour les champignons
Les champignons, "héros méconnus de la vie sur terre", figurent désormais sur la liste rouge des espèces menacées de l’UICN (L’Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature).

Is it just an impression or amazing research and discoveries are poping up everywhere about mycorrhizal fungi? A thread of research that I want to catch up on (and maybe you do too):

Who lives underground?

Find out now in our new paper published in @nature.com.

Key finding: 90% of predicted mycorrhizal biodiversity hotspots lie outside protected areas.

During my PhD, I did an additionnal experiment that is inconclusive and it would not be possible to publish. The method and concept were worth it and I want to put it out there. Now I'm aiming for journal.trialanderror.org
Journal of Trial and Error
An independent, diamond open access journal redefining failure. There is a gap between what is researched and what is published. The Journal of Trial & Error exists to close that gap.

Attention fellow mycologists of BlueSky: I’m looking for live cultures of several Laccaria species (including this one) for my PhD research.

Please send me a DM if you have cultures available or any info as to where I might find some to work with in the lab! 🍄🌲

Favorite find from the foray over the weekend:
Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis💜 🍄

Dear fellow researchers: how do researchers study climate change at the level of the ecosystem? There is the translocation experiments (SZ and China), the FACE platforms (USA and AUS), rainout shelters. What else exists out there?
