Ectomycorrhizal ecology of Pacific Northwest conifer forests.

I am a PhD student studying the influence of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi on blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) plant growth and production through field, glasshouse, and laboratory experiments.

Currently, my research explores mycorrhizal associations in orchids.

The interdisciplinary project explores the valorization of building waste streams using fungal microorganisms as an organic binder for circular and regenerative biomaterials. The applied research is grounded in a low-tech vernacular methodology for exploring architectural typologies through load bearing prototypes informed by variable ways of casting, growing and drying mycelium composites.

My research investigates the effects of urbanization and changes in warming on soil fungal communities, unraveling the intricate ecological dynamics and understanding the consequences of these dual forces on soil microbial diversity and function.

Sampling and characterisation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities from native and agricultural ecosystems in New Zealand. Use of greenhouse experiments to investigate the link between these sampled communities and resilience in plant-soil ecosystems.

Gabriel Orrego, forest engineer with a master's degree in forest ecology. Collaborator of the Fungi Foundation and scientific director of the Festival Reino Fungi. Co-founder of Symbiotica, dedicated to socioecological restoration and environmental education.

My main research interests revolve around infectious diseases, and I employ a variety of techniques such as evolutionary genomics, molecular taxonomy, field ecology, bioinformatics, and experimentation to investigate the clinical and environmental factors driving these diseases.

I reach and teach over 2.5 million followers about the fantastic variety of mushrooms and fungi via my FascinatedByFungi accounts on social media. My academic research focused on the microbial ecology of wine fermentations and process control.

My name is Helbert, a researcher from Research Center for Ecology and Ethnobiology, National Research and Innovation Agency, Indonesia. My work focuses on ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in Indonesian tropical forests, especially on their biodiversity and ecology. My goal is to map ectomycorrhizal fungi distribution in Indonesian forests.

I focus my research on fungi diversity and the plant-fungi interactions in the Tropical Forest.

Ian’s research investigates the role mutualistic symbionts have in maintaining the functionality of ecological networks, and the ecophysiology of network members, under extreme and changing conditions.  He investigates these topics through the experimental manipulation of common mycorrhizal networks in field conditions, through meta-analyses, and modeling and simulation.

My lab research focuses on fungal taxonomy and ecology, mycorrhiza studies, mushroom cultivation. It focusses on the challenge of how to describe, document, understand and protect all fungal biodiversity and cultivate medicinal mushrooms. Also, aims to understand how climate change drivers influence plant-fungi interactions and plant structure.

I study the temporal interactions between grasslands plant and their associated microbial communities under drought conditions.

Does microbial diversity helps us understand processes in soil carbon and nitrogen cycles? What are the best quantiative and analytical methods to answer this question?

Interested in interactions of mycorrhizal fungi with other soil microorganisms

Looking at nature recovery through the lens of mycorrhiza, and their responses to regenerative agriculture and Rewilding.

I work on the taxonomy, systematics, and biogeography of macrofungi, and conservation biology more broadly.

Climate change effects on soil carbon cycling in tropical soils.

I am interested in studying the impact of global change factors on soil biodiversity, and how this relates to ecosystem functions and stability. I am particularly interested in fungal communities and their role in soils, as well as the interaction of plant and fungal communities. I mainly use high throughput sequencing in combination with field or greenhouse experiments to characterize fungal community responses to different global change factors.

Identifying key players and patterns in networks of microorganisms with an emphasis on plants, soil, and mapping.

I collaborate with several PNW fungal taxonomic specialists to identify and document species and their distributions at the northern limit of the Pacific Coastal Rainforest and transition zone into Boreal forests.

Microbial ecologist notoriously curious about the life of fungi. I currently work with microfluidic systems to study behaviors and interactions of filamentous fungi.

We manage and monitor the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve for endangered and rare species, including Golden-cheeked Warbler, Black-capped Vireo, karst invertebrates, and rare plants.

I am studying the biodiversity of mycorrhizal fungal communities associated associated with ecosystems in Lesotho

My work focuses on tripartite interactions among bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, and plants. In particular, I investigate positive interactions among these organisms.

My work focuses on the evolutionary genetics and biochemistry of floral trait evolution and adaptation. I seek to link the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic evolution in plants to ecological functions including mutualistic interactions with other organisms.

Diversity and ecology of Glomeromycota in natural systems, agroecosystems, and forest systems through taxonomy and molecular systematics. Additionally, I am interested in analyzing the role of soil microbiota in plant growth and development, and how it influences the fitness of insects (Lepidoptera).
