Researchers at TUM visualized underground plant–fungal networks in #3D for the first time. The method reveals roots and #fungal structures in their natural soil environment and could support research on more drought-resilient crops: http://go.tum.de/165444

Top tip for gardening. I have been tending the roses in the old cottage I love in, some are supposedly over 100 years old. They are often plagued with fungal blight. The rose spray is quite expensive. I bought some general antifungal spray for cleaning and put a few squirts into a water spray bottle and it seems to really reduce or eradicate the issue and doesn't seem to bother the roses. #roses #gardening #fungal #tips

Systemic candidiasis is a severe, opportunistic #fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. Recent research demonstrates that reprogramming the metabolic pathways of a host's immune cells offers a viable strategy to clear the infection, circumventing the need for traditional #antifungal medications.

Any Aspergillus researchers around here? I'm not one, but I'm giving a talk on BRC-Analytics/Galaxy next month and would like to replicate an analysis in a recent paper. Can somebody point to a recent paper that might be well known in the community that involved sequencing (like variant calling/pop gen, RNASeq/transcriptomics/differential expression, etc)? Thanks! #fungi #fungal

Ah, the elusive art of myco-materials! 🔒🍄 Apparently, this article is so #avant-garde that even the internet gods have deemed us unworthy of its fungal wisdom. Instead, we're left with an existential HTTP error and a poetic string of numbers that could double as a #cryptic safe combination. 🚫🔢

#Minnesota farmer grows #ClimateAdaptive seedlings as co-op member
Brian Ingmire’s mission to help #reforest northern Minnesota became a lot more important after the June 21 storm that leveled millions of trees in the #Bemidji area.
By Dennis Doeden
September 07, 2025 at 9:00 AMExcerpt: "Brian is a member of the Farm & Forest Growers Cooperative, a network of small farms and nurseries that grow climate-adaptive tree seeds into seedlings, and then sell the seedlings to reforestation agencies and individuals.
" 'Minnesota has a massive need for tree seedlings,' Ingmire said. 'Something like 10 million trees are needed every year at a minimum. And we have a lot of forest disturbance, whether it’s fires or wind events.'
"Ingmire figures he has about 30,000 tree seedlings on his farm, and about two-thirds of them will be available for purchase this fall. Online orders can be placed at climatesmarttrees.com. He's also been selling seedlings at his Bemidji Natural Choice Farmers Market booth, and says having them there gives him an opportunity to talk about the project.
"New North Farm is one of 24 members of the cooperative. Ingmire is growing several varieties, including #RedOak, #BurrOak, #YellowBirch and #SilverMaple. All are collected from about 200 miles south and then started up north.
" 'I can tell you where their parent tree came from,' Ingmire said. “They should be able to handle the changes in temperature extremes. We’ve got different insect pests and #fungal pests that are putting stressors on trees just because of the temperature extremes. These trees should have the genetic ability to deal with that kind of extreme.'
"The need for #reforestation was certainly exacerbated in the Bemidji area after the June storm. It is estimated that Beltrami County lost nine million trees, and many were also downed in parts of Hubbard and Cass counties.
" 'That number exceeds a lot of the nursery capacity that we have,' Ingmire said."
