The Ohio Mushroom DNA Lab is offering free DNA barcoding for any wild collected fungus, found anywhere in the world.
They need to be dried and packaged in ziplock snack sized bags, labeled with the iNaturalist observation #

Out this morning! Where we argue the need for genus-level model systems in fungi and why Suillus should be one of them, provide a primer on the genus, and how the International Suillus Consortium is addressing grand challenges to system development. doi.org/10.1111/nph.19700

New tool from @CultivariumFRO: models to predict oxygen tolerance, temperature, salinity, and pH optima from a genome - without using pesky gene annotations. Very excited to share this resource. Quick explainer: 1/10

This looks awesome, but my institution doesn't have a subscription 😢 Is there an open-access copy available somewhere?
Very excited to be attending the GSA #Fungal24 conference for the first time this week! 🍄 I will be presenting a poster on yeast hybrid genetics on Thursday (no. 476B—check it out!)
Looking forward to sharing my work, learning about cool science, and meeting new friends! 🧫🧪🧬

We have a new paper out on the ecological basis of hybrid incompatibilities! We argue, via literature review, two meta-analyses, and simulations that epistatic incompatibilities might underlie much of what is known as 'extrinsic' post-zygotic isolation cshperspectives.cshlp.org/co… 1/n

Had a student ask in class and I didn't know the answer:
Why hasn't the mitochondrial genome deteriorated to the point of uselessness due to Muller's ratchet?
