LIFE BIOREST host of the "XXII National Mycology Conference" of the Italian Mycological Association (UMI), with a presentation dedicated to the most significant progress of the project by Federica Spina of the Micoteca of the University of Turin.

The conference is organized in collaboration with the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Siena and with the research group of the SelPiBioLife project of which the DSV Mycology Group is a partner. SelPiBioLife is a LIFE Biodiversity project (LIFE13 BIO / IT / 000282) which concerns Pinus nigra artificial pine forests and in particular wants to demonstrate the positive effects of a specific silvicultural treatment. These effects concern not only the growth of plants and the stability of the stands, but specifically also the biodiversity at the level of the underbrush and the soil environment (fungi, bacteria, flora, mesofauna, nematodes).
