  1. Dartmouth College: Dartmouth Team Launches Public Database on Soil Fungi. “In a new study published in Scientific Data, Dartmouth researchers present a comprehensive database that catalogues the spore traits of 344 mycorrhizal fungi species. By consolidating existing but neglected knowledge of mycorrhizal traits, the database will help scientists study how fungi—and the plants they […]

  2. Are #plants and #fungi trading carbon for nutrients? Not likely, say researchers phys.org/news/2024-10-fungi-ca

    What determines transfer of carbon from plants to #MycorrhizalFungi? By Rebecca Bunn et al. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/do

    "Misapplying economic models hampers understanding of #mycorrhizas... This economic analogy may have closed our eyes to other possibilities... how much carbon is transferred to a #fungus is independent of nutrient delivery to the plant"

    "Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) #fungi are the most common types of #MycorrhizalFungi. The type of plant-mycorrhizal association is critical for #forest carbon cycling by influencing plant growth, nutrient acquisition, and soil #CarbonStorage."
