Out this morning! Where we argue the need for genus-level model systems in fungi and why Suillus should be one of them, provide a primer on the genus, and how the International Suillus Consortium is addressing grand challenges to system development.  doi.org/10.1111/nph.19…

Elated to share that this January, I’ll be opening the doors to the Lofgren Mycology Laboratory at Berkeley in the Berkeley Plant & Microbial Biology dep. Our group will work on the ecology and evolution of fungi and their hosts, with a focus on ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, metabolism, and genomics.

I am thinking of my parents who did everything to make sure I could go to college as a first-generation student. Growing up in a low-income apartment in France and becoming Faculty in an American land-grand university was so unexpected... and now I'm tenured NC State Crop & Soil Sciences ! 🍾

Very Important study showing, perhaps unsurprisingly, that "mycorrhizal products" sold by industry in the US are often pure GARBAGE...(or worse!) Native inoculation OUTPERFORMS! 💪💪💪

When your flight to the #ICOM12 is cancelled due to the really bad weather on the east coast, you still find some #mushrooms at home... No worries we will be there on Monday, landing at 7:15am and heading right away to the congress, and Thursday morning to talk about #potassium!

#ICOM12, we will be exhausted tomorrow, but here we come!

What a timely follow-up of my talk at the #ICOM12! We identified multiple K chemistries in the #ECM fungus Paxillus ammoniavirescens, including organic-K compounds! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great lightning talk from Maria Higuita ! Go check her poster, as well as Benjamin D. Rose's one, if you are at the #ICOM12. #ProudPI! NC State Crop & Soil Sciences NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences

Come visit my poster on gene expression of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Truncocolumella citrina in response to drought! P-163 #ICOM12

The Department of Plant Pathology at UW–Madison is seeking a bacteriologist specializing in plant-microbe interactions at the Associate or Full Professor level. This is a fantastic department in a great university. Candidates focusing on plant-microbe symbioses and beneficial

30 years ago today, I took on the NRA and helped lead the fight to pass a ban on assault weapons. Mass shootings went down. 20 years ago today, the ban expired. Mass shootings tripled. It is long past time for Congress to once again pass an assault weapons ban.
