Uehling lab

OSU mycology had a great showing at MSA 2026. Im still #damproud to be a part of this amazing group of mycologists

What a treat to visit @mofisch.bsky.social lab in @ubcbotany.bsky.social for a seminar! Thanks to those who spent time meeting with me and especially to the @beatymuseum.bsky.social for sharing their wonderful collection. inspirational!

EcoEvoJobs 2026-27 just opened for business and we've already got 79 faculty / permanent jobs listed. Please repost! ecoevojobs.net

Santiago Castillo is talking today at 4PM in Mechanisms of Fungal-Bacterial Interactions session (PNW Ballroom) #MSAfungi26 “Quantifying Intraspecific Variation in Carbon Utilization of Linnemannia elongata Isolates Hosting Burkholderia-Related Endosymbionts Before and After Clearing”

Jessie’s talk is today, Tues 14 July 2:15–2:30 in Lloyd Center Ballroom.”Evolutionary History, Diversity and Applied Use of Psilocybin Fungi," in the Fungal Futures: Advances in New Knowledge session #mycofam #MSAfungi26

Fun times were had at the MSA 2026 foray

Dear #mycofam a gorgeous foray site awaits you at the foot of Mt Hood during #MSAfungi26. Can’t wait to see you soon!!

Hello #mycofam if youll be at #MSAfungi26 in Portland come find our team and say hello. We cant wait to see you all and hear what youve been up to!!

Honorary Uehling lab member and 6th grader presents on all things fungal at her class science fair. She credits her cousin Dr. Hayden Johnson for her inspiration to study fungi 🍄🍄🍄

Postdoc opportunity at UCDublin with Dr. Olga Lastovetsky. Highly recommended mentor and fascinating project. Applications due 3 June 2026

Prof. Adriana Romero-Olivares, UC Riverside, was doing incredible work on how fungi and ecosystems respond to global change. A rising voice, a dynamic scientist and educator, a young mother, wife and daughter gone far too soon. A huge loss. Her family, students and community are in my thoughts.

Simon’s Graduate Fellowships in Ecology and Evolution now seeking applicants for fall 2027 start dates. Info below, LOIs due May 1, 2026. Please reach out if you’re interested in developing an application to support a PhD student position in our lab!

We are hiring! We’re excited to recruit a postdoc to our lab at UC Davis to work on plant immune engineering and single-cell analyses of plant pathogen interactions. Apply by June 1. Please repost. www.coakerlab.org/postdoctoral...

We had a real treat hosting Dr Cathie Aime for the Dallice & Mary Mills Seminar in BPP yesterday!! Cathie gave a fascinating talk on Coffee Leaf Rust. I’m a little nervous for the future of this coffee I’m sipping ☕️

The United States National Herbarium is seeking a Lead Collections Manager! For complete requirements and application procedures, please visit USAJOBS (www.usajobs.gov/job/864499200). Applications and all supporting documentation must be received online by 1 May 2026.

We had fun partnering with the Oregon Stater magazine to share a little bit about Mycology at OSU!! Each fall our Mycology class has a fantastic time collecting and identifying fungi on our field trips 🍄 🍄 🍄

its that time of year again! the students are launching with their biological data science skills. its so rewarding to observe

What a way to end #fungal26 We laughed and we cried and we learned so much A great reminder to look back and reflect on the past It can light the way to the future Thank you Nancy Keller for being a light 🕯️ in the field

Next talk in our #fungal26 session on emerging fungal pathogens is Dr Lisa Couper on genomes of environmental isolates of Coccidioides for tracing human infections

Sydney Glassman @sydneyglassman.bsky.social shares the Pyrophilous - or fire 🔥 loving - fungi What makes these fungi good at colonizing after a fire? Are they fast 🏃‍♀️ or thermotolerant 🥵 or can they eat special things 😋? #fungal26

Fungal domestication in action - @benwolfe.bsky.social www.cell.com/current-biol... #Fungal26

Ben Wolfe wowing us with cheese and fungi and ecology and metabolites. Field sites from the forest to the cheese caves. #fungal26 @benwolfe.bsky.social

The Pezizales being introduced by Gregory Bonito include beauties like Scutellinia scutellata- the eyelash fungus. #Fungal26

Morning #fungal26 and giving and getting some morel support with Greg Bonito

We’re #damproud of OSU mycology

Feeling proud of this lab and their research.

Hanne Griem-Krey discussing ✨🚀 Starship-mediated horizontal gene transfer 🧬➡️🧬 of transposable elements in the insect pathogen 🐜😷 Metarhizum anisoplaie. #fungal26

Shay Covo discusses how UV ☀️ damage impacts genome stability in a fungal 🍄 pathogen of plants 🌿 Why do some strains recover better than others from damage #fungal26

Jessica Fletcher UC Denver details Suillus tomentosus zinc sensitivity. Zinc tolerance varies but is not linked to population structure

Javier Tabima describes molecular and secondary metabolic diversity in Basidiobolus in MA #fungal26

Lluvia Vargas Gastélum shares the fractured 💔 genome 🧬 of the Basidiobolus Why are there so many chromomes!? Could it be the LINES near telomeres? #fungal26

Starships in fungi are so intriguing & have clearly had enormous (& diverse) impacts on genome evolution. @mycomile.bsky.social So many questions- the catalytic mechanism of YR Captains, target-site selection, how they move between fungi? (anastomosis/ role for parasexuality?) Amazing #Fungal26

Lluvia Vargas brings the house down with updates on ploidy and chromosomal arrangement in Basidiobolus. The #osumycofam is also proud!!

#FUNGAL26

M. Catherine Aime discusses the complex life styles of the Rusts (Puccinales) - the prolific plant pathogens 🌱🌾🌿🪴 How are GIANT genomes related to COMPLEX lifecycles?? #fungal26

Eveline Snelders @evelinesnelders.bsky.social reminds us that with all this fresh air 🌬️ comes a few billion fungal 🍄 spores The lack of data describing which fungi are where 🌍 is a major barrier to understanding antifungal 💊 resistance Citizen science 🧑🏾‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬🧑🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬 can help!! #fungal26

Isheng Jason Tsai @ishengtsai.bsky.social explores the diversity of fungi in carnivorous plants 🥩🏵️ (who btw don't like cheese 🧀) Are the fungi and carnivorous plants working together? #fungal26

Emile Gluck-Thaler elucidating the mysteries 🔎 🫆 of fungal variation and phenotype using 🚀✨ Starship transposon framework. How do these 🔗 link to and impact fungal evolution? #fungal26

Jack Gregory details endosymbiont diversity with Rhizopus species #fungal26

Spatafora lab presents Daniel Farthings work evaluating amphibian gut microbiome impact on Basidiobolus #fungal26

Hey #fungal26 our lab is hiring a postdoctoral researcher for an NSF funded project in ectomycorrhizal competition. Come find me for more info! www.lotuslofgren.com/pd2026

Joey Spatafora keeps the Basidiobolus bus rolling How hosts 🐸 and fungi 🍄 and bacteria 🦠interact?? What can we learn from 🐸💩? Basidiobolus selectively inhibits growth of Gram-positive bacteria #fungal26
