Artificial Neural Network Prediction of Mechanical Properties in Mycelium-Based Biocomposites

mycolabadmin

Researchers used artificial intelligence to predict how strong mushroom-based materials would be. These eco-friendly composites are made from wood particles held together by fungal networks instead of synthetic glue. The AI model successfully learned to predict the strength of these materials based on which type of fungus was used and what wood particles they were grown on, potentially reducing the need for expensive testing.

Morphophylogenetic evidence reveals four new fungal species within Tetraplosphaeriaceae (Pleosporales, Ascomycota) from tropical and subtropical forest in China

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered four new species of fungi in the tropical and subtropical forests of southern China. These fungi belong to the Tetraplosphaeriaceae family and were found on decaying wood and bamboo. The researchers identified them using both microscopic examination and DNA analysis, comparing them with similar known species.

Phialomyces koreanus sp. nov., A Novel Soil Fungus from Korea

mycolabadmin

Scientists in Korea discovered a new species of fungus in forest soil and named it Phialomyces koreanus. Using both microscopic examination and genetic analysis, they determined this fungus was distinctly different from previously known species in the same genus. This discovery adds to our understanding of the diverse fungi living in Korean soils and may have potential applications in pest control and environmental cleanup. This is the first Phialomyces species ever documented from Korea.

Triangularia manubriata sp. Nov.: A Novel Fungal Species Belonging to the Family Podosporaceae Isolated from Soil in Korea

mycolabadmin

Scientists in Korea discovered and identified a new fungal species living in soil, which they named Triangularia manubriata. This fungus belongs to a family of soil-dwelling fungi that help break down organic matter and are important for soil health. The researchers used a combination of physical observations and genetic analysis to confirm it was a previously unknown species, marking the first time this fungal genus has been identified in Korea.
