Fungal Ecology in the Lab
Fungal life cycles are complex, and many environmental influences remain poorly understood, especially across various life stages. Laboratory studies allows us to study each stage, from hyphal growth to fruiting and spore production, under controlled conditions by simulating different environmental factors. ...more
Fungal Conservation
Forest experiments across scales enable us to assess fungal diversity using classical fruit body inventories and metabarcoding techniques. We also study fungal adaptation along environmental gradients, including genetic, morphological, and behavioral levels. ...more
Fungal Macroecology
By leveraging extensive distribution data (e.g., from citizen science, GBIF), developing large phylogenies, and analyzing life-history traits, we aim to clarify how fungal diversity varies across time and space. ...more
