Assessing fungal–mineral interactions in soil: A review of microscale methods

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Biological weathering of minerals has profoundly transformed Earth over geologic time by driving soil formation, nutrient cycling, and long‐term biogeochemical processes. Among soil biota, fungi are increasingly recognized as key yet obscure drivers of weathering through their unique hyphal growth forms, metabolic capabilities, and symbiotic ...

Climate variability shapes the mutualistic interaction between truffle‐like ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and a mycophagous mammal

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
The mutualistic interaction between truffle‐like ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and mycophagous mammals is fundamental to forest health, supporting fungal dispersal, soil structure, nutrient cycling, and plant community dynamics worldwide. However, climate change may disrupt this mutualism in unprecedented ways by altering truffle‐like ECM sporing body ...

Comparison of the Secondary Metabolism of the Basidiomycetes Armillaria mellea and Desarmillaria ectypa

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 21, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract During the course of our ongoing studies on the secondary metabolism of cultures of Basidiomycota, a new meroterpenoid named 10, 15‐dihydroxydihydromelleolide (1) was isolated along with the known armillaridin (2) and arnamiol (3) from cultures of the rare saprotrophic species, Desarmillaria ectypa.

New records of Cyathus (Nidulariaceae, Basidiomycota) from conservation units in Northeastern Brazil

open access: yesLilloa
The genus Cyathus (Nidulariaceae) disperses its basidiospores passively through the force of raindrops on the peridioles. These fungi play essential ecological roles in nutrient cycling and plant organic matter decomposition.

Mycophagy in the yellow-footed tortoise (Chelonoidis denticulatus): feeding trial experiments at Tijuca National Park (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

open access: yesLilloa
The act of consuming any part of fungi is termed mycophagy. Certain basidiomes contain highly nutritious elements, such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals, which can be extremely valuable in the animal diet.

Gasteroid fungi as diet component of the hairy armadillo, Chaetophractus villosus (Cingulata, Chlamyphoridae), in the Dry Chaco Region of Paraguay

open access: yesRevista Biodiversidad Neotropical, 2017
Chaetophractus villosus inhabits the Gran Chaco Basin of South America. The species is considered carnivorous-omnivorous, feeding primarily on plant matter and invertebrates. Here we present the rst record of fungus in the diet of the species.
