The button mushroom Agaricus bisporus is an economically important crop worldwide. Many
aspects of its cultivation are well known, except for the precise biological triggers for its …

Many fungi are polykaryotic, containing multiple nuclei per cell. In the case of heterokaryons,
there are different nuclear types within a single cell. It is unknown what the different nuclear …

Thirty unique non-host RNAs were sequenced in the cultivated fungus, Agaricus bisporus,
comprising 18 viruses each encoding an RdRp domain with an additional 8 ORFans (non …

Fungi are a large group of eukaryotes found in nearly all ecosystems. More than 250 fungal
genomes have already been sequenced, greatly improving our understanding of fungal …

Higher fungi with greater than 70000 species are regarded as a rich source of various
natural compounds including terpenoids, the production of which represents a wide range of …

The elongation growth of the mushroom stipe is a characteristic but not well-understood
morphogenetic event of basidiomycetes. We found that extending native stipe cell walls of …

Research into secondary metabolism (SM) production by fungi has resulted in the discovery
of diverse, biologically active compounds with significant medicinal applications. The fungi …

Genome introgression is one of the driving forces that can increase species and genetic
diversity and facilitate the adaptive evolution of organisms and biodiversity conservation …

In heterothallic basidiomycete fungi, sexual compatibility is restricted by mating types,
typically controlled by two loci: PR, encoding pheromone precursors and pheromone …

This paper analyses the environmental impact of the process of cultivating Agaricus
bisporus. Cultivation is the final phase of the mushroom production process. We seek to …
