To aficionados, fungi are freaky, mystical and overlooked. They're helping scientists learn more

To aficionados, fungi are freaky, mystical and overlooked. They're helping scientists learn more

Jessica Allen crunched through fallen leaves among Manzanita trees hunting for something few have spotted before: the Manzanita butter clump — a rare and little-known yellow mushroom found, so far, only along North America’s Western coastlines. It was last seen here in California‘s Napa County two years ago, and Allen, a fungi scientist, was keen to find it. But within minutes, something caught her attention. She knelt, pulled a hand lens to her eye, and peered nose-close into a rock: lichens — a type of fungi — bursting with dazzling shapes, textures and colors.“It’s so easy to get distracted, but there’s so many lichen!” she said excitedly.“That was a good rock,” said ecologist Jesse Miller, president of the California Lichen Society. “Ok, let’s go find some mushrooms,” she exclaimed.Allen and Miller are enchanted by what they describe as the wondrous and mystical world of fungi, and they’re part of a growing community of people working to protect them. Nearly all life forms depend on the estimated 2.5 million fungi species on Earth, and they contribute an estimated $54 trillion to the global economy as food, medicine and more, according to a study published in “Springer Nature”. Despite their essential role, they’ve been largely neglected by conservation efforts even as they face increasing threats from pollution, habitat loss and climate change. That’s been changing in the last decade thanks in part to citizen scientists and a greater understanding of fungi diversity.“It’s a pretty exciting time in fungal conservation,” said Allen, mycologist for NatureServe, a hub for biodiversity data throughout North America. In that role, Allen is helping accelerate and support fungal conservation in the U.S. and Canada.Amateur researchers play a key role in conservationFungi are neither plants nor animals. They’re an enormous kingdom of life forms that include yeasts (essential for breads, cheeses and alcohol), molds (the fuzzy stuff on forgotten fruit), lichens (a symbiosis of fungus and algae or cyanobacteria) and mushrooms (which range from edible to psychedelic to deadly ). They’re among the planet’s great connectors and decomposers. Forests need them, and many animals rely on them for food and nesting. People have derived medicines like penicillin from fungi. Some are used as building material or can store planet-warming carbon. But scientists have only documented about 155,000 species, 6% of the millions they believe are out there. Conservation starts with knowing what species exist, where they are, how they’re doing and their threats, which requires boots on the ground. This allows conservationists to assess imperiled species and where to put resources.That’s where groups like the California Lichen Society come in.“They tend to be the people that often make the most important discoveries, and they’re the ones who are going to be keeping an eye on those rare species over time,” said Allen.On a chilly recent day, dozens of lichenologists and amateur lichen lovers fanned out across a reserve to get close to rocks and trees. These annual forays are part treasure hunt, part data collection excursion and part nature hike, except its explorers often don’t make it far.Every powdery, leafy and branchy lichen was an invitation into a miniature world where “Wows!”, “What the hecks!” and “Oh my gods!” abound. As chemist Larry Cool put it: “Lichenologists make terrible hiking partners” because they keep stopping.Cool’s interest in lichens stretches back 53 years to the day he learned they can be used as natural dyes. “Lichen are more than the sum of its parts and are mysteriously unpredictable,” he said. “I get a lot of pleasure seeing the incredible variety of creation.”Ken Kellman is also an amateur lichenologist, but you wouldn’t know that from his immense knowledge. A retired air conditioning and heating mechanic, he’s geeked out over them the last 10 years or so, learning on his own and from friends. That obsession has helped scientists discover the biodiversity in his hometown of Santa Cruz, Calif.“It just keeps your brain in that place where you’re saying ‘Wow!’ all the time. ‘That’s cool!’ And that’s my favorite place for my brain to be,” he said.Fungi conservation in US ‘is still far behind’ but changing Gregory Mueller has spent much of his career in fungi conservation. As co-chair of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s fungal conservation committee, he coordinates all fungal protection activity across their global network.According to the group’s Red List of Threatened Species, 411 of 1,300 evaluated fungi across the world are at risk of extinction. Parts of Europe and elsewhere have focused on fungal conservation for decades, but the U.S. “is still far behind,” Mueller said. Only two fungi species — both lichen — are protected by the federal Endangered Species Act, while some states like California have legal protections, while others like New Jersey have added them to conservation plans. That’s slowly changing, in part because of increasing community science initiatives in the U.S. and abroad. “There’s a lot of amateur mycologists ... documenting (fungi) with photographs, putting their images on iNaturalist and our Mushroom Observer, and we’ve been able to use those data to better document fungal diversity,” he said. We’re “starting to get some idea of what species might be in trouble.” Jessica Allen, of the California Lichen Society, holds up a firedot lichen found during a CALS field trip at the University of California, Davis’ McLaughlin Reserve in Lower Lake, Calif., Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026. Scientists are still learning about fungi and threats to themMost fungi are out of sight, spending most of their lives hidden as a vast, threadlike network called mycelium and producing mushrooms — called the fruiting body — only when conditions are just right.That’s a big reason we know so little about them, said Nora Dunkirk, a botanist and mycologist at Portland State University’s Institute for Natural Resources working to document vulnerable plant and fungi species to help with conservation efforts.Among their biggest threats includes climate change. Shifts in rainfall patterns, hotter temperatures and worsening wildfires can wipe them out or disturb the delicate relationships between forests and good fungi. Prolonged periods of flooding can starve them of the oxygen they need. Logging, development, invasive insects and pollution also threaten species. Then there’s overharvesting. The grapefruit-sized and long-lived quinine conk, for example, has been listed as an endangered mushroom species in Europe since the 1980s in part because people have picked too many for their medicinal properties. “This is an organism that grows on larches all across Europe, and so people see this as a valuable resource and they use it,” said Dunkirk. “But this species specifically has been harvested to its detriment.”Perhaps the U.S.’s most well-known conservation story indirectly involving fungi happened in the 1990s. The Northern spotted owl was in danger, and officials realized that to save them, they had to manage the entire old-growth forest ecosystems they depended on — including fungi. With the 1994 Northwest Forest Plan, the federal government established rules to protect about 400 rare and little-known species across three states. Valerie McFarlane, top, and Edward Smyth, a member of the California Lichen Society, look toward lichen on a large rock during a field trip at the University of California, Davis’ McLaughlin Reserve in Lower Lake, Calif., Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026. Back in California, Allen and her fellow fungi-loving friends continued their quest for the elusive Manzanita butter clump. They searched up steep slopes and down by a creek, looking closely by their feet.They never found it.But that’s how it goes when you’re searching for something as ephemeral and unpredictable as mushrooms. “How many of my days have ended this way? So many,” said Allen. “It was still a great day.”___The Associated Press receives support from the Walton Family Foundation for coverage of water and environmental policy.

3D scanning and shape analysis help archaeologists connect objects across space and time to recover their lost histories

Today the world of Egyptology faces a silent crisis—not of looting, although that plays a part, but of disconnection. Walk into any major museum, from Copenhagen to California, and you see glass cases filled with what could be called orphaned artifacts: remarkable objects, often acquired in the 19th and early 20th century, that have been completely stripped of their histories. You can see what they are—a mummy's painted foot case, a golden mask—but we have no idea where they came from. They are beautiful, but historically they are mute.

Early study connects dogs’ cancer survival with which microorganisms live in their gut

Early study connects dogs’ cancer survival with which microorganisms live in their gut

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Canine cancer patients receiving a new form of immunotherapy lived longer or shorter depending on the composition of their microbiome, the community of organisms living in their gut.Results of the clinical trial led by Oregon State University scientists were published in Veterinary Oncology.The findings signal new hope for the nearly half of U.S. households with at least one dog, suggesting that personalized medicine and better outcomes may one day be realities for the roughly 6 million dogs diagnosed with cancer each year, OSU’s Natalia Shulzhenko said.There are more than 87 million domesticated dogs in the U.S. alone, and approximately one in four will develop cancer at some point in its life. More than 4 million dogs die of cancer annually; about half of all dogs that reach age 10 will succumb to cancer, the leading cause of canine death.“Our study is a first step toward using the gut microbiome as a tool to develop prognoses and to manipulate cancer, not just in dogs, but potentially as a model for human treatments as well,” said Shulzhenko, who studies host-microbiota interactions at OSU’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine.Co-led by Andrey Morgun of the OSU College of Pharmacy, the research involved 51 dogs of various ages and breeds that had been diagnosed with a range of malignancies, including cancer of the bones and blood vessels. Each dog was treated with a new type of cancer vaccine designed to trigger its immune system to block two cancer cell proteins that tell the cells to grow and divide.Prior to treatment, the scientists collected rectal swab samples from the dogs for microbiome analysis. Trillions of organisms make up the canine microbiome, with 240 species accounting for more than 80% of the microbial community.Amid all of those organisms, some connections were clear, Shulzhenko said. Scientists found 11 specific types of bacteria that were linked to how long the dogs lived – some were positive indicators, associated with longer survival, while others were associated with shorter survival.“In the future, an analysis of a microbiome swab could help predict how well a dog might respond to a cancer treatment,” she said. “This allows pet owners and vets to make more informed decisions about care. And now that we know certain bacteria are linked to survival, we can explore ways to ‘fix’ a dog's gut microbiome to help the vaccine work better and help the dog live longer.”The National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health provided funding for the study, as did the Canine Cancer Alliance and the Biomedical Sciences Department of the Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine.The collaboration included scientists from the National Cancer Institute, Yale University and the Bridge Animal Referral Center, as well as OSU’s Vini Karumuru, Stephanie Nuss, Marina Elliott, Isaiah Shriver, Chih-Min Chao and Ryan Berriatua.

Grifter 'wannabe journalists' covering Guthrie disappearance ripped by AZ Dem: 'Go home'

As state, local and federal officials continue to come up empty-handed as they try to find out what happened to Nancy Guthrie, the elderly mother of television personality Savannah Guthrie, a local Democratic lawmaker pounced on YouTubers and influencers who have flooded the community trying to make names for themselves.In a post on X and an appearance on CNN, State Rep. Alma Hernandez (D-Tucson) lashed out and claimed outsiders pretending to be journalists are making the jobs of investigators more difficult as they spread rumors and provide uninformed speculation about what appears to be a kidnapping.Her message to the intruders: “PLEASE STOP. Go home.”On X, she wrote, “As someone who lives & represents Tucson/ Pima County, I am so sick of watching the ‘reporting’ grifting, insane speculation, lies, and BS by random wannabe journalists and YouTubers who have now caused more harm than good to this entire situation and put this serious case in jeopardy. Please GO HOME.”Short of that, she implored, “Let law enforcement do their jobs. Stop following them during swat operations and playing detectives. I am sick of the constant LIES from those who can't even spell Tucson and clearly have never been to our city.”‘This home is not near downtown or midtown, so posting random videos of people walking in yards ain't it y'all, no, Mexicans don't all look the same, yes, our sheriff should probably stay off social media and not speak to the press anymore,” she continued. “Yes, this is sad, and we all want Nancy home. But seriously, PLEASE STOP. Go home.”Appearing on CNN on Sunday, she confessed to host Fredricka Whitfield she is “extremely frustrated” with the true crime YouTubers, explaining, “They’re trying to find anything at this point to stay relevant and get the clicks on social media and it’s extremely frustrating.”“And I felt like I needed to call it out because every single day when I log on to social media ... it’s a random ‘reporter’ if you want to call it that who’s saying, ‘Oh, I’m following FBI. I’m on the mission to go and find these individuals that they’re serving a warrant on,’ and I just think that’s extremely inappropriate,” she added.
