"In times of crisis, mutual aid becomes paramount. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, new forms of sharing had gained momentum to redress precarity and stark economic inequality. Today, a diverse array of mutualistic organizations seek to fundamentally restructure housing, care, labor, food, and more. Yet design, art, and architecture play a key role in shaping these initiatives, fulfilling their promise of solidarity, and ensuring that these values endure. In this book, artist Marisa Morán Jahn and architect Rafi Segal converse about the transformative potential of mutualism and design with leading thinkers and practitioners: Mercedes Bidart, Arturo Escobar, Michael Hardt, Greg Lindsay, Jessica Gordon Nembhard, Ai-jen Poo, and Trebor Scholz. Together, they consider how design inspires, invigorates, and sustains contemporary forms of mutualism-including platform cooperatives, digital-first communities, emerging currencies, mutual aid, care networks, social-change movements, and more. From these dialogues emerge powerful visions of futures guided by communal self-determination and collective well-being."

Mycorrhizae are mutualisms between plants and fungi that evolved over 400 million years ago. This symbiotic relationship commenced with land invasion, and as new groups evolved, new organisms developed with varying adaptations to changing conditions. Based on the author's 50 years of knowledge and research, this book characterizes mycorrhizae through the most rapid global environmental changes in human history. It applies that knowledge in many different scenarios, from restoring strip mines in Wyoming and shifting agriculture in the Yucatán, to integrating mutualisms into science policy in California and Washington, D.C. Toggling between ecological theory and natural history of a widespread and long-lived symbiotic relationship, this interdisciplinary volume scales from structure-function and biochemistry to ecosystem dynamics and global change. This remarkable study is of interest to a wide range of students, researchers, and land-use managers.

"The Perigord Truffle, Tuber melanosporum Vittad 1831, as of this writing, could be purchased for $19.97 per 14g (0.5oz), or US$1,426 per kg. These "black diamonds" are one of the ultimate human gastronomic experiences. Yet, despite centuries of study by outstanding scientists, the biology of truffles is so poorly understood that they cannot be commercially produced in consistent, meaningful quantities. Most gastronomic truffles still come from individual truffle hunters, working in orchards or wildlands and selling to expert middlemen, then to the international market often through back doors (see (375)). Efforts to collect truffles have been undertaken throughout recorded history as Romans, Greeks, Babylonians, Sumerians, and Egyptians all wrote about the fruit of Aphrodite (Aristotle). The complexity of formation, attributed to particular trees, lightning or thunder, or soils led to extensive research during the 19th century, culminating in the funding of the work of Albert Bernhard Frank, a forest pathologist, supported by the King of Prussia. Little did any of the early researchers recognize that the biology of Tuber was only a small, yet complicated piece of a story of a diverse type of symbiosis, that plays a major storyline in biological theory, in the application of agriculture and forestry, and holds keys to how carbon was sequestered in the early earth and provides directions to reducing the global CO2-climate impacts. Truffles, including members of the genus Tuber, are mycorrhizal fungi. That is, they are mutualistic fungi, associated with a limited array of host trees, such as oaks, beeches, and hazelnuts. Being a mutualistic symbiont means that not only is the ecology of the fungus complex, but the ecology of the host is also complex. Adding in the complexity of climate and soils that change over time and space, the association falls into the theoretical construct of biology called biocomplexity."--

In the past few decades, awareness of the basic role that endophytic fungi play in shaping the fitness of both wild and crop plants has increased significantly. The number of papers on the subject is so large that it is becoming difficult to have a complete overview of the state-of-the-art with reference to specific crops. In the absence of readily available documents providing circumstantial information on the endophytic assemblage of plants, the isolation of a certain fungal species may appear to be occasional or trivial; hence, many important findings are at risk of going unnoticed. This Special Issue aims to present a collection of papers dealing with the occurrence and functions of endophytic fungi in crop species. It may represent a useful tool for stakeholders in this particular research field, with a view to stimulating a more thorough consideration of the opportunities deriving from their discoveries.
