Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

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

Topics 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.

Whole genome sequencing of historical specimens from the world's largest fungal collection yields high‐quality assemblies

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 752-767, July 2026.
Summary High‐throughput molecular studies of museum specimens (museomics) have great potential in biodiversity research, but fungal historical collections have scarcely been examined, leading to no comprehensive methodological assessments. Here we present a whole genome sequencing (WGS) project conducted at the Fungarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens ...

Integrative Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals the Chemical and Molecular Basis for Aroma Divergence in Isatis Fruits

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Integrative metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed the chemical and molecular basis of aroma divergence in fruits of three Isatis species. Distinct volatile profiles and 44 key aroma‐active compounds defined species‐specific sensory characteristics, while co‐expression analysis identified NAC transcription factors and lipid‐derived pathway ...

Fungal Diversity and Potential Health Benefits of Mycophagy in Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus)

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 4, April 2026.
Free‐ranging chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in Nature's Valley, South Africa, of multiple age/sex classes eat diverse fungi (10 identified to species level, 3 to genus level). We assess potential nutritional, medicinal and ecosystem implications of consumption of these fungi based on human and other mammalian mycophagy literature.

Transnational Entrepreneurs of Place and ‘the Last Authentic European Medieval Landscape’ in Transylvanian Highlands, Romania

Sociologia Ruralis, Volume 66, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT There is a renewed interest in Europe's rural regions and in the consequences of migration on rural social relations, economy and landscape. This paper seeks to contribute to these debates with a case from Eastern Europe showing the contribution of returned migrants in the cultural branding of the overly romanticised region of Transylvanian ...

Short‐Term Effect of Different Agronomic Managements on Soil Carbon Fractions Content

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT This research investigates the short‐term impact of different agricultural management strategies on soil organic matter (SOM), focusing on particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral‐associated organic matter (MAOM). The study assessed the effects of organic fertilisation (compost vs.

Direct Ambient Mass Spectrometry for Food, Beverage, and Agricultural Sample Analysis and Research

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 429-452, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Ambient and direct mass spectrometry (MS) methods are becoming increasingly used for the rapid analysis of food, beverage and agricultural samples. Novel ionization approaches combined with targeted, or untargeted workflows provide analytical outcomes within a greatly reduced time period compared to traditional separation science coupled with ...

Increased temperature and drought do not threaten the mycelium of Tuber melanosporum in Mediterranean regions

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 556-562, March 2026.
Drought and high temperatures are expected to increase in Europe, in particular in Mediterranean regions, where black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is mainly harvested. This fungus, living in symbiotic ectomycorrhizal association with trees, is important in forest ecosystems and agricultural diversification.
