Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil β€˜exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few.....

Very happy to see this lab paper out in @newphyt.bsky.social - we identified genomic traits & environmental drivers of ectomycorrhizal fungal mycelium exploration in the soil and on roots.

Thanks to all our co-authors and to @tommansfield.bsky.social

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.

It's been one year since I started the Fungal Ecology Lab at the @univie.ac.at. This has been the most exciting and rewarding year of my life. I am so lucky to work with this team of talented scientists. Some highlights πŸ„πŸŒ²βœ¨

How does variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity affect tree growth? What are the knowledge gaps to more fully answering this question?
