Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery

mycolabadmin

Myco-Ed is an educational program that teaches students about fungi while helping scientists create reference genomes for understudied fungal species. Students collect fungi from their local environments, identify them, and prepare samples for advanced genome sequencing through partnerships with major research institutions. This program solves two problems at once: training the next generation of fungal researchers and filling critical gaps in our knowledge of fungal genetics and diversity.

Leucocalocybe mongolica inoculation enhances rice growth by reallocating resources from flavonoid defense to development via MYB/bHLH/WRKY networks

mycolabadmin

A fungal strain called Leucocalocybe mongolica (LY9) can help rice plants grow bigger and healthier by improving how they use nutrients and sunlight. Interestingly, when plants grow better with this fungus, they produce fewer defensive compounds called flavonoids, but they still maintain some protective molecules. This research shows that the fungus helps plants decide to invest more energy in growth rather than defense, making it a promising natural fertilizer for farming.
