Research summary

Daniel B. Raudabaugh studies fungi and microbial communities across a wide range of environments, including peatlands, streams, caves, ballast water, and post-wildfire landscapes. Much of the work explores how fungi are distributed, survive, and function in extreme or disturbed habitats, as well as their potential roles in breaking down environmental pollutants like petroleum and industrial contaminants. The research combines field sampling, DNA-based identification methods, and lab experiments to characterize fungal diversity and ecological roles.
