Fungi comprise approximately 20% of all eukaryotic species and are connected to virtually
all life forms on Earth. Yet, their diversity remains contentious, their distribution elusive, and …

Fungi play vital roles in ecosystems as endophytes, pathogens and saprobes. The current
estimate of fungal diversity is highly uncertain, ranging from 1.5 to 12 million, but only …

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 …

The Clitocybaceae is a recently established family. Currently, the infrafamilial divisions and
relationships within the family are vague due to limited sampling and genes employed for …

As the continuation of Fungal Diversity Notes series, the current paper is the 16th
contribution to this series. A total of 103 taxa from seven classes in Ascomycota and …

The phylogenetic position of several clitocyboid/pleurotoid/tricholomatoid genera previously
consideredincertae sedis is here resolved using an updated 6-gene dataset of Agaricales …

Psychoactive mushrooms in the genus Psilocybe have immense cultural value and have
been used for centuries in Mesoamerica. Despite the recent surge of interest in these …

Soil fungal communities are critical components in soil ecosystems, but experimental
researches on their responses to the silver birch succession are limited. Arbuscular …

Improved sequencing technologies have profoundly altered global views of fungal diversity
and evolution. High-throughput sequencing methods are critical for studying fungi due to the …

ABSTRACT William Alphonso Murrill was an American mycologist of the early 20th century.
He described 1453 new species of Agaricales, Boletales, and Polyporales. Within these …
