Real-world results from the classroom 🌱🦠🌏 Students grew milkweed with/without MycoBloom fungal inoculant and found: “MycoBloom treated swamp milkweed sprouted sooner and is much taller!” — Lisa Ball, Environmental Club Sponsor, Lawrence High School #Mycorrhizae #Milkweed #STEMeducation

MycoBloom's work with native AMF for restoration is in the news @theguardian.com along with the research of @lizkoziol.bsky.social, @invam.bsky.social fungal collection, and others: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Defunding fungi: US’s living library of ‘vital ecosystem engineers’ is in danger of closing

These fungi boost plant growth and restore depleted ecosystems, but federal funding for a library housing them has been cut – and it may be forced to close

Seven years later: native AMF inoculation improves grassland successional stage, floristic quality index, and diversity, while suppressing weeds

Native mycorrhizal fungi enhance prairie restoration by boosting native plant diversity, supporting late-successional species, and reducing invasive plants

Mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄 No rice this week: instead a beautiful arbuscule formed by native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (identity unknown) within a Plantago root. This animation takes you through a z-stack 🔬

Newly Submitted Manuscript: A vibrant forb-rich prairie restoration powered by native mycorrhizal fungal inoculants! Data from 7 years post-inoculation shows AM fungal amendments boost plot quality (Floristic Quality Index) and reduces weeds. #SoilHealth #nativeplants #Mycorrhizae #forbs 🍄🧪🌏🌾🌿

Many crops lose their reliance on #AMF during domestication, but we found a novel #perennial grain is becoming MORE responsive to AMF. Work by Tom McKenna, @lizkoziol Jared Crain @crews1859 Ben Sikes, Lee DeHaan and Jim Bever @NatureAsMeasure nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Selection for agronomic traits in intermediate wheatgrass increases responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Agricultural practices have had a negative impact on the physical, chemical, and biological components of soil. Perennial cropping systems that facilitate positive soil microbial interactions could n...
