Okay, now I’m leaning toward Tricholoma saponicum 😅

Yeah, apparently so! Unimproved grasslands, although this one is more of a mowed mossy grass area in a park setting on campus xD

Postglacial History of a Widespread Wood‐Decaying Fungus in Europe Suggests Migration out of Multiple Refugia Followed by Admixture While postglacial migration patterns have been well-studied in plants and animals in Europe, the same is not true for microorganisms such as fungi, and it remains unclear whether fungi have followed ...

In this paper we should that the post-glacial migration pattern of a widespread forest fungus is similar to what have been observed in plants and animals, with multiple refugia, secondary admixture, etc. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Map of Europe and their forest use. Very little (1%?) is not managed at all

I couldn’t have done this without the help of my co-authors Björn Lindahl, Roger Finley, Julian Klein, Alf Ekblad and notably, my PhD supervisor, Karina Clemmensen!

❔There were big differences in mycelial ingrowth likely due to a summer drought in the second year of the experiment - it really makes me think about the transience of mycorrhizosphere processes. Nature doesn’t always cooperate with our plans 😉

💥The ectomycorrhizosphere may directly enhance decomposition in humus but indirectly slow decomposition in needle litter, while 🫐 shrub-associated ericoid mycorrhizal fungi have been found do the opposite—boosting litter decomposition but slowing humus decomposition.

🧵We traced and identified fungal mycelial ingrowth over 3 years in the forest using mesh bags with incubated humus and pine needle substrates DNA metabarcoding tools 🧬

🌳 Ericaceous understory shrubs and the microscopic fungi they associate with on roots are ubiquitous in boreal forests, and their interactions with ectomycorrhizal (pictured) and saprotrophic fungi may determine organic matter dynamics in forest soils.
