This stick gets its colour from the mycelium of Phanerochaete sanguinea. I haven’t found its English common name. Leave a comment if you know it!

Really cool photo! I wonder if that red is something like Phanerochaete sanguinea or a Hydnophlebia.

🧪🌾PAPER - What causes negativ effects in plants expressing microbial enzymes?🦠

The Mellerowicz group excluded damage- & pathogen-associated immune responses.

The good news: restricting the expression to wood avoids side-effects.

Such an awesome field, and the fungi angle is supposedly less explored than you’d think (as opposed to slime mold), according to this recent paper! They also term it “basal cognition” and the intro has a goldmine of sources.

A study explored how a specific fungus, *Phanerochaete chrysosporium* NA3, can biodegrade polystyrene (PS), a common plastic. This fungus breaks down PS, using it as a carbon source, and alters its structure, making it easier to degrade. Pretreatments helped speed up the process. This approach sh...

Using 13C15N Labeling Technology to Reveal the Fate of Maize Straw in Soil Organic Matter and Dissolved Organic Matter under Different Exogenous Microorganism-Mediated Conditions
Understanding the fate of maize straw in soil organic matter (SOM) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) is essential for identifying key processes in plant residue (PRe) decomposition. This study quantified the distribution of maize straw-derived carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in SOM and DOM under different exogenous microorganisms using 13C15N labeling. Treatments included fungi (Trichoderma reesei, Trichoderma harzianum, and Phanerochaete chrysosporium), bacteria (Bacillus subtilis), and combinations. Fungal addition increased the straw-derived C by 2.79%–6.97% after 360 days, with no significant effect on N compared with bacteria. Microbial combinations achieved the highest PRe conversion but depleted SOM without increasing total C or N. Trichoderma enhanced early dissolved organic C (DOC) and N (DTN) release; Trichoderma reesei showed the highest DOC retention (15.85%) at 360 days. All microbial treatments increased soil DTN, with fungi showing the greatest effect. Trichoderma reesei best facilitated PRe transformation and minimized the SOM loss. Overall, fungal and combined microbial treatments more effectively promoted PRe-derived DOM formation.
