Fruiting bodies (sporocarps, sporophores or basidiomata) of mushroom-forming fungi
(Agaricomycetes) are among the most complex structures produced by fungi. Unlike …

The morphogenesis of sexual fruiting bodies of fungi is a complex process determined by a
genetically encoded program. Fruiting bodies reached the highest complexity levels in the …

The development of sexual fruiting bodies is one of the most complex morphogenetic
processes in fungi. Mycologists have long been fascinated by the morphological and …

We constructed a reference atlas of mushroom formation based on developmental
transcriptome data of six species and comparisons of> 200 whole genomes, to elucidate the …

Fruiting body formation in Agaricomycetes (Agaricomycotina) represents the most complex
developmental processes known in the fungal kingdom. Shapes range from simple …

Many filamentous ascomycetes and basidiomycetes produce fruiting bodies for the
protection and dispersal of sexual spores. The genetic control of this developmental process …

The evolution of complex multicellularity has been one of the major transitions in the history
of life. In contrast to simple multicellular aggregates of cells, it has evolved only in a handful …

Multicellularity has been one of the most important innovations in the history of life. The role
of gene regulatory changes in driving transitions to multicellularity is being increasingly …

Many filamentous ascomycetes develop three-dimensional fruiting bodies for production
and dispersal of sexual spores. Fruiting bodies are among the most complex structures …

Mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes, approx. syn.: Homobasidiomycetes) produce a
diverse array of fruiting bodies, ranging from simple crust-like forms to complex …
