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

Topics 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.

Skin Commensal Microbiota Does Not Influence the Clinical Course of Dermatophyte Infection in Persian Cats

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Dermatophytes can be isolated from both symptomatic and asymptomatic cats, yet the role of skin commensals in modulating disease expression remains unclear. This study investigates whether microbial skin communities influence the clinical presentation (symptomatic or asymptomatic) of dermatophyte infection in Persian cats.

Comparative analysis of fungal microbiomes in Korean and Chinese chili pepper powders

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 9, Page 5680-5687, July 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Chili pepper powder plays a crucial role in kimchi fermentation; however, its use may result in fungal contamination. Therefore, analyzing its mycobiome is vital to maintain quality control standards. In this study, we used internal transcribed spacer (ITS)2 amplicon sequencing to compare fungal communities in commercially available

Succession and Carbon Source Utilization of Fungi Associated With Hylocomium splendens on a Subalpine Forest Floor

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
The present study examined the succession and carbon source utilization of fungi associated with moss profiles and to identify the metabolic traits that were linked to the successional status. We showed that the successional status of microfungi in decomposing tissues of Hylocomium splendens was affected not by the taxonomic group but by the potential ...

The grapevine microbiota: A review on the possible impacts of plant protection programs on phyllosphere microorganisms

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
This review highlights recent advances in understanding how plant protection programs and alternative fungicides affect the taxonomic composition of the grapevine phyllosphere microbiota. Bacterial and fungal communities are primarily shaped by the plant compartment, vineyard location, and sampling time. Plant protection programs generally have a minor

Provenance legacies override species effects in shaping oak rhizosphere microbiomes and metabolomes

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 488-504, July 2026.
Graphical representation of experimental setup. Quercus spp. seeds were collected at two origins: upper Rhine basin (URB) and north German lowland (NGL). Summary As climate change drives more frequent drought‐heat extremes, selecting drought‐tolerant trees is crucial for future forest resilience. However, the role of tree–microbial associations remains

The Great Bustard (Otis tarda) and Common Crane (Grus grus) Utilize Food Resources via Gut Microbiota Remodeling During Wintering in the Yellow River Wetlands in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study detected the diet and gut microbiota of great bustards and common cranes in the wintering duration in the Yellow River Wetlands of Inner Mongolia using high‐throughput sequencing technology. This study indirectly indicated that great bustards and common cranes are well‐adapted to the environment of the Yellow River Wetlands during the ...

Fungivorous butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae): A rare record of feeding behavior

Revista Chilena de Entomología
In this work, we report a rare feeding behavior, where adults of two species of frugivorous butterflies were feeding on fungi, Hamadryas februa februa (Hübner) on Auricularia cornea Ehrenb., and Pierella lena brasiliensis (Felder & Felder) on Phallus ...
