A scalable PDMS extraction method for profiling fungal volatile compounds
"Fungal volatile organic compounds (FVOCs) play key roles in fungal ecology, physiology, and biotechnological applications, but inconsistent sampling and analytical methods limit biological interpretation and cross-study comparability, underscoring the need for a standardized, validated workflow."

Just wanted to repost the new Lifepod episode, which is a little different from the conversations I generally have on the show. This one’s a discussion of the notion of “tek” as it emerges from mycological circles, and how knowledge can be developed and shared among the far-flung, autonomous, only loosely-connected members of a distributed community of practice.
As always, I hope you enjoy it, and encourage you to share the link with friends who might be interested! https://lifepod.transistor.fm/s1/6

Fungal effector proteins, which modern pathogens use to infect their hosts, originally evolved from ancient antimicrobial proteins utilized for basic microbial competition.

Words carry weight, certainly, but they are shifty. No matter how much we ache for them to hold a singular, sterile meaning — something universal — they remain drenched in the shadows of culture and the weight of history. Every reader brings their own ghost to the text.

The ever--amazing Tyson Ehlers showing up in local mycology news again is of zero surprise to me. We are talking about a person who wrote THE BOOKS of the area if you are lucky enough to find them.
New species news!!!

Lovely Peeps, I thought this on #mycology in #Africa, and mycology #conservation efforts around the world was interesting!
"This interest in conserving #fungi has been spurred ... by increasing evidence that they play a far larger role in how ecosystems function than previously understood: 90% of plants on Earth rely on fungi to supply them with crucial nutrients, & newer evidence is increasingly pointing to the key role that fungi play in helping maintain a stable #climate.
A recent study found that as much as 36% of annual CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are stored in the underground mycelium of mycorrhizal fungi."

Felbrigg Estate Fungi & Slime Moulds – 9th November 2025
🌐 Read the post here: https://traversingthehinterland.co.uk/felbrigg-estate-fungi-slime-moulds-9th-november-2025/ -
I’ve got two updates today: one frustrating, one great.
First – artist missed the pre-agreed deadline, dropped a "will send when it's ready" at the end of the day, and then went silent. Not ideal. :BlobhajShock:
Second – oyster mushroom mycelium is actively taking over the cardboard!
:BlobHajMlem:Biology is definitely more reliable than some humans right now, tbh. :BlobhajSadReach:

Decided to get back into growing oyster mushrooms on cardboard yesterday. No photos today, but trust me: the mycelium is already waking up and getting beautifully fluffy. :BlobHajMlem:
It’s so satisfying to watch them slowly colonize their new home. While the internet is busy with toxic noise and unsolicited advice, I’m just enjoying this quiet, steady biological expansion in a dark corner. Pure zen. :BlobhajBlanketSlate:

Slime moulds & fungi at Strumpshaw Fen – November 2025

"Starships" are massive mobile genetic elements that actively transport transposable elements (TEs) across different fungal species, driving rapid genetic restructuring and accelerating genome evolution.

Mycoaugmentation involves the application of white-rot fungi, such as oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus) and turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) mushrooms, to degrade and neutralize persistent psychoactive pharmaceutical residues found in biosolids, the nutrient-rich byproducts of wastewater treatment.

Aujourd'hui c'était mise en substrat de fructification du mycélium pleurotes sur grains.
Déjà, un seul mycélium sur grains a pris, et mes substrats commençaient à se contaminer, cette nouvelle production saura surement moins importante que la précédente. On croise les doigts.
