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

open access: yesTopics 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.

ITSxRust: ITS Region extraction with partial‐chain recovery and structured diagnostics for long‐read amplicon sequencing

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 2843-2853, October 2026.
Abstract Long‐read amplicon sequencing is now routine for fungal metabarcoding, and locating the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) subregions within reads has become a throughput bottleneck. Existing extractors were designed for shorter reads and for datasets in which near‐identical sequences are common, and neither assumption holds for Oxford Nanopore

Using eDNA to Investigate Soil Fungal Trajectory and Mammal‐Fungi Interactions at an Arid Australian Restoration Site

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil fungi regulate terrestrial ecosystem function and productivity. Native digging mammals influence soil physiochemistry, thus likely affect soil fungal communities; yet despite their re‐establishment in many parts of arid Australia, the influence of digging mammals on soil fungi in reintroduction areas remains largely unknown.

Involvement in daily life activities from the perspectives of children and young people with childhood‐onset disabilities: A scoping review

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 1351-1364, October 2026.
This scoping review aimed to understand the construct ‘involvement’ in daily life activities from the perspective of children and young people with childhood‐onset disabilities. We identified six conceptual ideas, including a continuum of inner dedication or investment in‐the‐moment, and five others reflecting how children and young people process ...

Discrimination of Truffles and Truffle Oils by a Metal–Organic‐Framework‐Based Electronic Nose

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 9, September 2026.
A portable electronic nose based on MOF‐coated QCM sensors enables rapid authentication of truffles and truffle‐derived oils. Characteristic response patterns distinguish fresh truffle species, homemade and commercial oils, and samples adulterated with dimethyl sulfide.

Risk and reward of the global truffle sector under predicted climate change

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Climate change has been described as the main threat for the cultivation and growth of truffles, but hydroclimate variability and model uncertainty challenge regional projections and adaptation strategies of the emerging sector.

Comparative Study of Free and Total Fatty Acids of Spreadable Cheeses by Mass Spectrometry Methods

open access: yesChemFoodChem, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
This study focuses on the determination of FFAs in spreadable cheeses and alternatives using a fast Liquid Chromatography‐High Resolution Mass Spectrometry method. A Gas Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry method was used to determine the composition (%) of total FAs in the same samples.

Hydrophilic Thiol‐Functionalized Silver Nanoparticles as Bio‐Stimulants in Quercus Pubescens Seedling Development

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 33, 1 September 2026.
Surface‐functionalized hydrophilic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs‐3MPS, where 3MPS = sodium 3‐mercapto‐1‐propanesulfonate) were synthesized and characterized. Colloidal AgNPs‐3MPS were tested on Quercus pubescens seedlings to link nanomaterial hydrophilicity and loading with plant responses. Results showed a dose‐dependent effects relevant for sustainable

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

open access: yesiMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial
