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 (from deadwood logs to landscapes) enable us to assess fungal diversity using classical fruit body inventories and metabarcoding techniques. We also study fungal adaptation along environmental gradients, including genetic (e.g., via transcriptomics), 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

Welcome to the Ecology of Fungi group!

We are fascinated by the vast diversity of fungi on Earth.

Our mission is to deepen our understanding of fungal diversity on local and global scales, particularly in the context of rapid environmental changes in the Anthropocene.

We investigate how fungal diversity and associated ecosystem processes shift across environments by using fungal distribution data, species trait analysis, extensive phylogenies, and both real-world forest and controlled lab experiments.
