- Underground Explorer Valeria Verrone and team are collecting soil samples across ecosystems in Indonesia. They're studying the fungi that support plants and help protect ecosystems from erosion. As natural areas are converted to farms, this work explores how fungal networks change with land use.
- Massive thanks to those that have been rallying to help save @invam.bsky.social. Research on fungal life, climate resilience, agriculture, and ecosystem restoration depends on living collections like INVAM and on the staff who sustain them. 🔗 Donate: invam.ku.edu/donate
