Elated to share that this January, I’ll be opening the doors to the Lofgren Mycology Laboratory at Berkeley in the @PMB_Berkeley dep. Our group will work on the ecology and evolution of fungi and their hosts, with a focus on ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, metabolism, and genomics.

I’ve enjoyed recent debates about common mycorrhizal networks and the #woodwideweb as well explained in this nice @nature_news piece by @Aisling_Irwin BUT I disagree with one misconception that I think is being propagated in these discussions 1/n

Take a trip through the evolutionary history of the mushroom genus Psilocybe . The genes for the psychoactive compound psilocybin were transferred horizontally between species up to five times between 40 million and 9 million years ago. In PNAS: ow.ly/42uV50QsGxU

Just put my hands on the current issue of Persoonia, featuring my photo on the cover and an article with @CharissaB proposing 2 new genera of mycoparasites associated with the zombie-ant fungus Ophiocordyceps camponoti-floridani 🍄 🧟♂️ 🦠

I'm quoted in a @PopSci article by @kasson_wvu about #TheLastOfUs and bringing fungi and their health implications (human and otherwise) to the public. Thanks, Matt, for including me, @PurdueBPP, and #chytrids, in the conversation!

What are the effects of invasive fungi on native fungal communities and soil nutrients? 🌲🍄🌳🤔Check this new article in @plantandsoil led by Alija Mujic Bajro with an awesome team: @TruffleSmithLAB @CamilleTruong3 @Martin_A_Nunez

Cordyceps do not manipulate the host behavior, Ophiocordyceps do. The zombie fungi are a mega diverse group. They are found not only deep in the forest, but can be near you! Check these and other info about #TheLastOfUsHBO fungus on my last article @NYBG.
