Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers report that fossilized entomopathogenic fungi from mid-Cretaceous amber reveal some of the oldest direct evidence of parasitic relationships between fungi ...

Could baby poop and fungi work together to tackle landfill waste? That's the idea behind a new product launched by an Austin, Texas-based startup that sells disposable diapers paired with fungi ...

Fungi form a hidden network that runs through the Earth like a system of life-giving veins. Scientists are only just beginning to understand the vital role fungi play, poised between the plant and ...

In recent years, we’re learning more about how fungi work, what they can do, and how they can help mitigate the climate crisis. They play a crucial role in balancing ecosystems, and keeping ...

A new study tracks the proliferation of fungal pathogens among various climate change scenarios—and it’s not good news.

When trees and soil fungi form close associations with each other, both partners benefit. Many tree species have further enhanced this cooperation by forming a concurrent symbiosis with two ...

As conservation targets, fungi aren’t as appealing as giant pandas. But these scientists explain that the health of Earth’s fungal species is critically important.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi drive nutrient flows along ‘trunk routes’ of the network, illuminating the design principles of a symbiotic supply-chain network shaped by millions of years of natural ...

How do symbioses between plants and fungi develop? How do plants decide whether or not to enter into a partnership with fungi? The team of Prof. Dr. Caroline Gutjahr, director at the Max Planck ...

In some orchids, photosynthesis is out and parasitism is in. Instead of making food from sunlight, some of these plants have become parasitic and primarily suck nutrients out of the fungi in their ...

Fungi growing on leaves and twigs in the woods that rivers pass through are probably washed into the flowing water (in Plymouth, the river Tamar) and transported via the estuary out to sea.

We may have more in common with fungi than we think New discoveries in the study of fungi cognition could lead to changes in the way we understand human cognition, Money and Fukasawa said.
