Fruiting body development (FBD) of mushroom-forming fungi has attracted tremendous
interest. However, the genetic and molecular basis of FBD is poorly known. Here, using …

During sexual development, filamentous ascomycetes form complex, three-dimensional
fruiting bodies for the generation and dispersal of spores. In previous studies, we identified …

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

The pileus (cap) of the fruiting body in homobasidiomycete fungi bears the hymenium, a
layer of cells that includes the basidia where nuclear fusion, meiosis and sporulation occur …

Mushroom formation represents the most complex multicellular development in fungi. In the
model mushroom Schizophyllum commune, comparative genomics and transcriptomics …

Ascomycetes differentiate four major morphological types of fruiting bodies (apothecia,
perithecia, pseudothecia and cleistothecia) that are derived from an ancestral fruiting body …

Mushrooms represent the most conspicuous structures of fungi. Their development is being
studied in the model basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune. The genome of S. commune …

Fruiting bodies are among the most complex multicellular structures formed by fungi, and the
molecular mechanisms that regulate their development are far from understood. However …

Agaricomycetes exhibit a remarkable morphological differentiation from vegetative mycelia
to huge fruiting bodies. To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the fruiting body …

Fruiting body formation in Agaricomycetes represents the most complex and unclear
process in the fungi. Mating type pathways (matA and matB) and transcription factors are …
