Gradients of Aliveness and Engineering: A Taxonomy of Fungal Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 5, 22 January 2026.
This paper explores the potential of fungal engineered living materials (ELMs), examining fungal biology and growth mechanisms, which underpin their development. It presents a classification framework based on aliveness, scaffold composition, and engineering degree. Unique properties such as self‐healing, biosensing, and bioremediation are highlighted,

Comparative Analysis of Fungal Spore Flora Among Birds, Insects and Air in a Temperate Japanese Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Birds, insects and air each host distinct fungal spore communities in a Japanese temperate forest; birds and insects act as selective vectors, while air provides maximal diversity. Our study highlights the importance of analysing multiple taxa to understand ecosystem‐level fungal spore dispersal and interactions.

The genus Fomitopsis (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) reconsidered

Studies in Mycology
Based on seven- and three-gene datasets, we discuss four alternative approaches for a reclassification of Fomitopsidaceae (Polyporales, Basidiomycota). After taking into account morphological diversity in the family, we argue in favour of distinguishing three genera only, viz. Anthoporia, Antrodia andFomitopsis.

Aquatic fungal diversity assessment through metagenomics is still limited to current databases

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3249-3260, November 2025.
Abstract Fungi play essential roles across ecosystems, yet their diversity in aquatic environments remains poorly understood compared to terrestrial systems. To address this gap, we analyzed metagenomes from 26 lakes in the boreal and subarctic zones, along with one tropical reservoir, to characterize fungal and fungal‐like (Oomycota) community ...

International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 10, Page 3037-3080, October 2025.
Eastern Hemlock is a long‐lived forest tree of eastern North America known for its deep shade and home given to many organisms. Despite surviving large‐scale clearing for agriculture when Europeans arrived, it returned to dominate when the land was abandoned in the mid 1800s.

The Desert in Bottles: The Culturable Microbiome of the Atacama Desert's Grit Crust

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
The grit crust represents a unique biocrust type of the coastal Atacama Desert. Cyanobacteria, green algae and free‐living fungi were isolated along a fog gradient. Phylogenetic relationships indicated novel taxa and framed an indigenous microbiome. Microclimate and soil data support functional groups related to sites.

Characterization of the Cubamyces Menziesii Terpenome

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 15, August 22, 2025.
The genome of Cubamyces menziesii reveals 18 putative sesquiterpene cyclase genes. These genes are cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding 10 active enzymes. Using farnesyl diphosphate as substrate, the enzymes are analyzed, and the products characterized after bioconversion, uncovering diverse sesquiterpene structures. This study highlights

Ectomycorrhizal decomposers and their niche(s) in boreal forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 1998-2014, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi that produce oxidative enzymes—ectomycorrhizal decomposers—may limit soil carbon stocks while maintaining forest productivity in nutrient‐poor forest soils by mobilising nitrogen from organic matter.
