Happy holidays y'all #mycosky 🦠
My new paper is out! 🧪🦠
Seven years later: native AMF inoculation improves grassland restoration successional stage, floristic quality index, and diversity, while suppressing weeds: academic.oup.com/femsle/artic...
Why microbes matter in restoration 🧵
MycoBloom's work with native AMF for restoration is in the news @theguardian.com along with the research of @lizkoziol.bsky.social, @invam.bsky.social fungal collection, and others:

Native mycorrhizal fungi enhance prairie restoration by boosting native plant diversity, supporting late-successional species, and reducing invasive plants
These fungi boost plant growth and restore depleted ecosystems, but federal funding for a library housing them has been cut – and it may be forced to close
Mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄
No rice this week: instead a beautiful arbuscule formed by native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (identity unknown) within a Plantago root. This animation takes you through a z-stack 🔬
Our very own @lizkoziol.bsky.social will speak at the @thegsbi.bsky.social panel on microbial inoculants this Wednesday! 🦠🌎👩🔬

Real-world results from the classroom 🌱🦠🌏
Students grew milkweed with/without MycoBloom fungal inoculant and found: “MycoBloom treated swamp milkweed sprouted sooner and is much taller!”

Newly Submitted Manuscript:
A vibrant forb-rich prairie restoration powered by native mycorrhizal fungal inoculants! Data from 7 years post-inoculation shows AM fungal amendments boost plot quality (Floristic Quality Index) and reduces weeds.
