Fungi are among the most successful eukaryotes on Earth: they have evolved strategies to
survive in the most diverse environments and stressful conditions and have been selected …

Fungi play many roles in different ecosystems. The precise identification of fungi is important
in different aspects. Historically, they were identified based on morphological characteristics …

Fungal omics (including genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and
lipidomics) are now broadly applied to help understand both the basic fungal biology and …

To date, hundreds of fungal genomes have been sequenced and many more are in
progress. This wealth of genomic information has provided new directions to study fungal …

Fungal taxonomy is a fundamental discipline that aims to recognise all fungi and their
kinships. Approximately 5% of a practical estimate of 2.2–3.8 million species globally are …

Fungal taxonomy and ecology have been revolutionized by the application of molecular
methods and both have increasing connections to genomics and functional biology …

Fungi inhabit every natural and anthropogenic environment on Earth. They have highly
varied life-styles including saprobes (using only dead biomass as a nutrient source) …

In this contribution, we will review how much is currently known about fungal evolution, and
how well phylogenetic hypotheses are supported by the data that were used for these …

Species concepts have long provided a source of debate among biologists. These lively
debates have been important for reaching consensus on how to communicate across …

The kingdom Fungi comprises species that inhabit nearly all ecosystems. Fungi exist as both
free-living and symbiotic unicellular and multicellular organisms with diverse morphologies …
