In our review of CMNs, water stood out as a resource that might be transferred between plants via fungal connections. This new study provides further support (and in DSEs!). Nice expt by Bea Bock et al 👍 Great to see new research.

Had such a great time presenting - and having an awesome time at the CSEE/SCEE this year! Come chat mycorrhizae (or other fungi/trees) with me!
Here we go! 🤩🎉Factoring in plant-🦠interactions: from temperate to boreal ecosystems @mycocentriq.bsky.social
Launched by Geneviève Lajoie from @inrsciences.bsky.social; she talks about the role of traits

Near Sherbrooke (QC) in early July? Then stop by the CSEE on the 7th of July for a presentation open to any and all - registered or not! You can't go through the summer in this region without being prepared for ticks - why not learn an extra thing or two?!

A prerequisite I’m happy to meet - earned my weight in scowls from Canucks fans 😂
I’m in the pink pony club #leggoboys
What a stellar group - be there or be square (squares and all shapes are welcome though 😂)!
Back home in #supernaturalbritishcolumbia for a bit - oh how I’ve missed the West!!
No thank YOU! Excited to see the group collabs with you and your lab in the future!
Not my poster, but you should follow the work of Clémence and her lab!
Got the chance to give my first presentation on my project exploring dominant mycorrhizal types and their impacts on the mycobiomes of the sugar maple and eastern hemlock! Still lots of work to go (results-wise) but it was an awesome experience - the CEF family is awesome!
We need to think more critically in how we use tree mycorrhizal status to predict forest ecosystem function. Important intra-guild variation among ectomycorrhizal trees leads to differences in soil biogeochemistry and organic matter properties.

Funny enough, these AM fungal coils are from a maple (like in their graphic)!
I spent my earth day working with these weirdos - such a fun and mysterious group of organisms!
I did not know we could do this in PowerPoint 😅🔥
Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution meeting in Sherbrooke in July: 5 days left to register at the early-bird rate! event.fourwaves.com/scee2025/reg...
Should we move beyond categorical traits in ectomycorrhizal fungal ecology? Fifth and final publication from my PhD is just out in @newphyt.bsky.social:

Amazing work, really can’t say enough about this! Been waiting for something like this for a while :)
Wowwww this is amazing!! So much potential, the future is gonna be a bright one! 🎉🍄
Nous accueillerons des chercheurs pour aborder des perspectives variées sur le monde des interactions plantes-microbes (y compris les bactéries, et bien plus encore).
Il y en aura pour tous les goûts!
Organisateurs: @mycocentriq.bsky.social , Morgane Enea & @ilafores.bsky.social
We’ll be hosting researchers from across North America to touch on diverse perspectives from the varied world of plant-microbe interactions (including bacteria - and beyond).
A little something for everyone there, eh!
Organizers: @mycocentriq.bsky.social, Morgane Enea & @ilafores.bsky.social

Franziska Zahn discusses the collaborative network established between plants & fungi🧪🌎
Does anyone have example pictures of what root lesions on tree seedlings look like? I am trying to measure % root lesion using the magnified intersections method at 100x magnification (following Bennett 2017, Liang 2021, and Maron 2014) but do not know what these lesions look like
We try to be funny 😅 - come one, come all!
The student committee is organizing a mixer specifically for students and postdoctoral researchers at #CSEE2025. Gear swap? Science quiz? Speed Networking? We’d love to hear your suggestions for activities at the event! 💬🎉
Mycorrhizal fans gettin real spoiled lately #stellar
Our newest research in @nature.com
We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains

Awesome work! We love a good title, too 🎉
