was considered up to then as part of Fomitiporia punctata (P. Karst) Murrill. This fungus can …

The identification of traits that influence the responses of the species to environmental
variation provides a mechanistic perspective on the assembly processes of ecological …

Amauroderma s. lat. has been defined mainly by the morphological features of non-truncate
and double-walled basidiospores with a distinctly ornamented endospore wall. In this work …

Sporocarps (fruit bodies) are the sexual reproductive stage in the life cycle of many fungi.
They are highly nutritious and consequently vulnerable to grazing by birds and small …

Functional traits are widely recognized as a useful framework for testing mechanisms
underlying species community assemblage patterns and ecosystem processes. Functional …

The authors of this paper summarize the majority of published data on the distribution of
agaricoid and boletoid fungi recorded in Russia, covering the period from 1824 through …

Spore characteristics of wood-inhabiting fungi suggest that wind is their predominant
dispersal vector. However, since they are restricted to ephemeral habitats, colonizing new …

Much attention has been given in recent time to communication processes of fungi. Fungi
communicate on all organismal levels, within an organism, within the species, with other …

The well-known photosensitizers hypericin, harmane, and emodin are typical pigments of
certain mushroom species—is this a coincidence or an indication towards a photoactivated …
