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 …

Isaria cicadae is a famous edible and medicinal fungus in China and Asia. The molecular
basis of morphogenesis and synnemal formation needs to be understood in more detail …

The evolution of multicellularity led to the origin of new kinds of organisms, and in several
lineages, massive adaptive radiations through the formation of entirely new ecosystems …

Filamentous fungi grow in form of multicellular tubular hyphae ('simple multicellularity').
When hyphae aggregate, more complex three-dimensional structures emerge …

Multicellular organisms potentially show a large degree of diversity in reproductive
strategies, producing offspring with varying sizes and compositions compared to their …

The history of life on Earth has been shaped by a series of major evolutionary innovations.
While some of these innovations occur repeatedly, some of the most important innovations …

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 …

Fungi are considered model organisms for the analysis of important phenomena of
eukaryotes. For example, some of them have been described as models to understand the …

This chapter focuses on a single but essential building block of biological organisation,
namely the way living organisms establish their specific relationship between existence and …
