Amphibians have been devastated by a chytrid fungus pandemic. Researchers immunized California red-legged frogs in Yosemite to give them a fighting chance at survival, with surprising results.
Over hundreds of million years of evolution, ants have come up with some pretty smart solutions to problems of agriculture, navigation and architecture. People could learn a thing or two.
Toe jam was mentioned in a song by The Beatles. Maybe they knew a thing or two about foot hygiene.
Dehumidifiers can help if you’re clever with that you’re trying to achieve, but you should always look to solve the underlying cause. That means, where possible, improving exhaust and ventilation.
Discovery of a new antibiotic compound from a Nigerian environment is good news for researchers in this field.
Prevention may be the best way to cope with the worldwide wave of treatment-resistant fungal pathogens.
Technology is allowing scientists to better understand fungal viruses, with the aim of managing them more effectively.
Forgot tempeh. The humble shroom has the potential to be used across industries, in ways we’re only beginning to grasp.
Fungi are a small but important part of the gut microbiome. A new study in mice shows that how much weight mice gain on a processed food diet depends on this fungal microbiome.
The Bsal fungus is not yet here in North America, or any place in the Western Hemisphere, but there is concern that the pet trade is the most likely route for introduction here.
