Killer fungus could help restore habitats affected by invasive moss

Researchers in a forested area examine the effects of a pathogenic fungus on invasive moss species, with native plants visible in the background.

As of October 2023, researchers have identified a potential ally in the fight against these invasive mosses: a fungus known for its pathogenic qualities. This “killer fungus” has shown promise in targeting invasive species without harming native plants. Initial studies suggest that the fungus could help restore balance in affected habitats by controlling the spread … Read more
