Despite recent advances in understanding the microbiome of eukaryotes, little is known about microbial communities in fungi. Here we investigate the structure of bacterial communities in mushrooms, including common edible ones, with respect to biotic and abiotic factors in the boreal forest. Using a combination of culture-based and Illumina high-throughput sequencing, we characterized the bacte...

Background: Genome sequence analyses can provide crucial information for understanding population history, speciation, and taxonomy. In Class Agaricomycetes where most mushroom-forming fungi belong, species so far have been defined based on morphological, ecological, and/or molecular features. At present, there is little how such features reflect their genome diversi...

Clavaria species with dark basidiomata occurring in Europe were analysed using morphological and molecular methods. Morphological analyses revealed four groups containing seven Clavaria species with dark basidiomata. Phylogenetic analysis of the LSU nrDNA region confirmed the separate positions of all seven Clavaria species within the genus. All sequences were grouped in four well-supported cla...

⎯ Two Clathrus specimens were collected in Northeastern Brazil during the rainy season in 2008. One specimen was identified as C. chrysomycelinus and the other is described as a new species, C. cristatus, which is distinguished by its pale red to pink receptacle and crests along the edge. Full descriptions with illustrations of the collected specimens and a key to species of Clathrus from Brazi...

The Hawaiian Islands have a relatively well-known funga for tropical location, yet there are over 400 species of mushrooms (Agaricomycetes) in the archipelago that remain to be documented. Importantly, International Union Conservation Nature (IUCN) recently evaluated six endemic islands as threatened with extinction. To improve detection biodiversity discovery and better monitor archipelago—whe...

Las especies neotropicales del género Favolus (Polyporaceae, Agaricomycetes) son importantes ecológica y económicamente, causando una pudrición blanca de la madera siendo utilizadas como alimentos en diferentes regiones. Hasta el momento, no se reportan estudios sobre cultivo, domesticación distribución rugulosus, especie recientemente descrita para Neotrópico. Los objetivos este estudio fueron...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is mainly cultivated in marginal land the south of China where seasonal drought stress occurs frequently and soil becomes more compact year by year. The study aimed to explore effect Fenlong tillage (FLT) combined with nitrogen applications on cassava rhizosphere particle composition fungal community diversity. Conventional (CT) was set as control. results ind...
