Fungal spores as more significant airborne factor than previously recognized

, 2021
Fungal spores can cause both seasonal and perennial allergy and provoke asthma attacks especially in autumn, when pollen levels are low but amounts of spores including Alternaria and Cladosporium are abundant in ...

Ectomycorrhizal community composition and extramatrical hyphal proportion predict soil carbon stocks at the landscape scale

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While fungal composition has been linked to soil carbon at global scales, these patterns are often difficult to disentangle from broad climatic gradients and species range limits. To address this constraint, we tested which aspects of ectomycorrhizal community structure

Use of molecular methods for the detection of fungal spores

, 2009
Traditional methods for the isolation and identification of fungal spores can be time-consuming and laborious. DNA-based methods for fungal detection can be used to detect the spores of plant-pathogenic fungi.

The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the competition between invasive and native plants depends on the soil nitrogen form

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant invasion and nitrogen (N) deposition are escalating global change threats. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are increasingly recognized as critical mediators of plant invasion success, largely through their role in enhancing host nutrient acquisition.

Efficiency of the Coriolis µ Air Sampling Device for Fungal Contamination Analysis of Indoor Air: A Case Study

Pathogens
Molds are frequent indoor contaminants, where they can colonize many materials. The subsequent aerosolization of fungal spores from moldy surfaces can strongly impact indoor air quality and the health of occupants.

A fungal perspective: Ecological reinterpretation of short‐term temporal variation in airborne eDNA

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful tool for assessing biodiversity, but its temporal dynamics and applicability to fungi remain poorly understood. Here we discuss how short‐term airborne eDNA variation should be interpreted for fungal communities.

Understanding variability and complexity of airborne fungal eDNA

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances in airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) passive sampling methodologies and their successful application in monitoring terrestrial plant and animal biodiversity have sparked growing research interests in extending this technique to fungal community surveys.
