Jorinde Nuytinck

People tend to think of life on earth in two main categories: plants and animals. But the diversity of life is much richer than that. Fungi are one of the most diverse, fascinating, understudied, yet omnipresent, kingdoms of life. They help feeding 90% of the plants, recycle dead organisms and remain cryptic most of the time. My interest lies in documenting and understanding the evolution of the underestimated kingdom of Fungi.

Keywords

Research
interest

Taxonomists create the language of biodiversity, enabling communication about organisms among scientists and the general public. This essential work is particularly challenging in hyper diverse and morphologically cryptic groups, such as the kingdom Fungi.

I combine fieldwork, morphology, microscopy and molecular phylogenetic techniques to study the taxonomy, evolution and diversification of Fungi.  The current focus is on several species-rich genera, such as Mycena, Lactarius and Cortinarius. Phylogenomic approaches are integrated with traditional techniques to unravel their evolutionary history and better understand their morphological and ecological variability. 

An improved insight in the diversity of fungi and the delimitation of species is also essential to identify fungi directly from soil samples. I am part of the Hidden Biodiversity project at Naturalis, in particular the work package that aims to characterise the soil microbiome of city trees.

Dutch mushrooms

Barcoding Dutch mushrooms

Fungi are everywhere. They live in the soil, float in the air, digest dead plant material, parasitize other organisms or live in mutualistic relationships. They are essential for the functioning of nearly all ecosystems, yet they are very cryptic. In the…
