Ice nucleation by fungal spores from the classes Agaricomycetes, Ustilaginomycetes, and Eurotiomycetes, and the effect on the atmospheric transport of these spores [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 We studied the ice nucleation properties of 12 different species of fungal spores chosen from three classes: Agaricomycetes, Ustilaginomycetes, and Eurotiomycetes.

First report of entomopathogenic fungi, Aspergillus tamarii (Eurotiales: Trichocomaceae) on Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) larvae [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2023 A fungus isolated from mango wasp was found to be pathogenic to houseflies. The isolated fungus was identified as Aspergillus tamarii using morphological characteristics and by comparative nucleotide sequence analysis of ITS regions.

At the nexus of three kingdoms: the genome of the mycorrhizal fungus Gigaspora margarita provides insights into plant, endobacterial and fungal interactions. [PDF]
, 2020 As members of the plant microbiota, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycotina) symbiotically colonize plant roots. AMF also possess their own microbiota, hosting some uncultivable endobacteria.

Seasonality in antarctic airborne fungal spores [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1997 Airborne fungal spores were monitored over periods of up to 131/2 months at three sites on Signy Island in the maritime Antarctic. Fungal spore concentrations in the air were much lower than in other parts of the world. Concentrations were very low during the austral winter but increased during the austral summer.

Modelling the impact of fungal spore ice nuclei on clouds and precipitation
Environmental Research Letters, 2013 Some fungal spore species have been found in laboratory studies to be very efficient ice nuclei. However, their potential impact on clouds and precipitation is not well known and needs to be investigated.
