In the podcast episode, we examine how a multiscale imaging approach spanning 3D anatomy, tissue organisation, and cellular ultrastructure provides the most comprehensive structural characterisation to date of young oyster mushroom fruiting bodies and establishes a methodological toolbox for future research in mushroom biology.

In the podcast episode we take a look at how biodiversity monitoring in Slovenian agricultural landscapes, finds strong coverage for birds and butterflies but major gaps for common species, plants, pollinators, and soil organisms, and recommends integrating harmonised international schemes to improve evidence-based conservation and policy evaluation.

In the podcast episode we take a look at a examines how plastics used in agriculture become sources of microplastics in soils, traces their pathways and interactions within agroecosystems, and evaluates their impacts on soil properties, productivity, and environmental sustainability.
