The phylum Ascomycota is by far the largest group in the fungal kingdom. Ecologically
important mutualistic associations such as mycorrhizae and lichens have evolved in this …

Fungal Biodiversity focuses on techniques for isolation, cultivation, molecular, and
morphological study of fungi and yeasts. It has been developed as a general text, which is …

The Kingdom Fungi, home to molds, mushrooms, lichens, rusts, smuts and yeasts,
comprises eukaryotes with remarkably diverse life histories that make essential contributions …

Fungi associated with photosynthetic organisms are major determinants of terrestrial
biomass, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem productivity from the poles to the equator. Whereas …

During a survey of saprophytic microfungi on decomposing woody, herbaceous debris and
soil from different regions in Southern Europe, a wide range of interesting species of asexual …

A comprehensive classification of the filamentous marine fungi is outlined, with reference to
recent molecular phylogenetic analyses. The classification includes 530 species (in 321 …

The question of how phenotypic and genomic complexity are inter‐related and how they are
shaped through evolution is a central question in biology that historically has been …

The species is one of the basic units of biological classification. Both species concepts and
recognition are essential topics in taxonomic studies and other biological research. In the …

The diversity of filamentous fungi that can grow at high ambient pH values (ie, 8–11)
remains largely understudied. Here we study 100 alkalitolerant and alkaliphilic isolates from …

Endolichenic fungi live in close association with algal photobionts inside asymptomatic
lichen thalli and resemble fungal endophytes of plants in terms of taxonomy, diversity …
