“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

Mushrooms and the wine of Maron [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Although the excavators of the sanctuary of the Great Gods on the island of Samothrace recognize that drinking to the point of intoxication was practiced at the Mystery, naively this has not been seen as an element in the initiation scenario.

The Irreversible Loss of a Decomposition Pathway Marks the Single Origin of an Ectomycorrhizal Symbiosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Microbial symbioses have evolved repeatedly across the tree of life, but the genetic changes underlying transitions to symbiosis are largely unknown, especially for eukaryotic microbial symbionts.

Fungal Diversity and Potential Health Benefits of Mycophagy in Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 4, April 2026.
Free‐ranging chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in Nature's Valley, South Africa, of multiple age/sex classes eat diverse fungi (10 identified to species level, 3 to genus level). We assess potential nutritional, medicinal and ecosystem implications of consumption of these fungi based on human and other mammalian mycophagy literature.

Richness and Composition of Mycorrhizal Fungi Varies by Flood Level and River Basin in Oligotrophic Amazonian Seasonally Flooded Forests

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Conceptual representation of topographic gradients in Amazonian igapó forests. High, medium, and low igapós differ in elevation and flood duration, with low igapós experiencing the longest periods of inundation. Fungal mycelia and DNA symbols indicate sampling of root‐associated mycorrhizal communities across the gradient, used to assess the influence ...

Wherefore the Magic? The Evolutionary Role of Psilocybin in Nature

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study explores the evolutionary role of psilocybin, the psychedelic compound found in Psilocybe mushrooms. We provide the first experimental tests of defence and community‐level evidence for invertebrate responses to psilocybin‐producing fungi, revealing significant negative effects on invertebrate locomotion, development, and survival.
