Come to Australia in two years for #ICOM13! A/Prof Jonathan Plett 🍄

Congratulations to Australasian researcher Solomon Maerowitz-McMahan for winning an award 12th International Conference on Mycorrhiza 2024 for his talk on his PhD work Western Sydney U - HIE

Dutch windmills, modern version. On my way to #IMC12 😊😊

Excited!!! #IMC12

A huge congratulations again to Johanna Wong for winning this award from her Western Sydney U - HIE work. So well deserved.

Celebrating Australasian mycologists at 12th International Mycological Congress (IMC12) : IMA Fellow to Tom May RBGV Science Young mycologist awards to Johanna Wong Johanna Wong NSW DPI Western Sydney U - HIE and Camille Truong Camille Truong RBGV Science Best young mycologist talk to Elle Bowd Elle Bowd Biology at ANU

Great open day University of Southern Queensland! Lots on display, fun activities, information and wonderful live music - something for everyone. 👏

Hot off the press: Donovin Coles, PhD's recent Western Sydney U - HIE work leveraging the sequencing of the Phytophthora medicaginis genome to begin digging into how effector-like secreted proteins may control chickpea root pathogenesis in a quantitative resistance model tinyurl.com/5d3kzj6n

Culturing Pisolithus from sporing bodies riddled with roots and came across this imprint of a mycorrhizal colonised root that was engulfed in the growing stipe. So pretty!

Fungal signalling controlling a robot. Such a great visual way to show how fungi are not 'quiet', but send out all manner of signals into their environment. So we best not annoy them, otherwise they may come to get us 😅 popsci.com/technology/fun…

After wrestling with a particularly thorny data set for a few days, I just found the gold (ie results that make sense). I think I will log off now and celebrate a little bit 😆

My morning coffee partner enjoying a bit of sun 🌞

Collab with Sandra Jämtgård and Judith Lundberg-Felten to use microdialysis has allowed us new real-time insights into the signals shared between mycorrhizal fungi and their host without physically perturbing the system. Our latest publication sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I got to finally try out single nuclei sorting yesterday - so cool! Now on to single nuclei sequencing 😊

Please RT: If you are interested in studying the role of metabolite signalling molecules in fungal-fungal competition during mycorrhizal colonisation, Michelle Moffitt and I have a funded PhD scholarship - please consider applying through tinyurl.com/jxcdhp3p

So rewarding to work with people like Marlow (he/they) 🌈! Here they are presenting their Western Sydney U - HIE work supporting the softwood industry showing the impact of nursery/site management on beneficial microbial populations.

Interested in improving soil biodiversity and promote sustainable forestry? Think about applying for our PhD funded by our Western Sydney U - HIE industrial partner Rhizocore seeking to improve mycorrhizal diversity in plantation forestry: tinyurl.com/3rrw6tpu

For Australian Domestic students interested in pursuing a PhD in molecular mycorrhizal studies, please consider applying for a scholarship-funded position in my lab (tinyurl.com/jxcdhp3p) - our lab is a diverse group studying plant-microbe interactions from genes to landscapes

One year from today, we will be welcoming the mycorrhizal community to the International Conference on Mycorrhiza in Cairns, Australia! Remember to mark your calendar, and keep up to date via the website: icom2026.org
