“…Indeed, the use of ethnobiology as a policy intervention rests on this artfulness. For example, in Michael Dove's (2008) discussion of of amplicons to tentatively establish rootfungi pairs has considerable precedent in the mycology literature (Kagan-Zur et al 1999).…”

As industrial processes leave much of the planet in ruins, novel encounters are emerging. To study weedy succession in a former brown coal mining area in Denmark, as part of the Aarhus University Research on the Anthropocene (AURA) project, the authors undertake field observations over time and propose renewed attention to natural history. In this paper, the authors follow mycorrhizal fungi and trees as a conjuncture of natural and social histories that enable their colonization of mining spoils. Three procedures are described: first, a combination of local accounts and field observations of human and nonhuman engagements; second, a process of attunement to the forms through which fungi and trees coordinate underground; and third, collaboration with a molecular biologist to verify field-derived species identities for future analysis. The paper aims to show how natural history might expand studies of interspecies interactions that shape succession in anthropogenic landscapes.
