The Basidiomycota constitutes the second largest higher taxonomic group of the Fungi after
the Ascomycota and comprises over 30.000 species. Mycelial cultures of Basidiomycota …

Microbial biodeterioration of timber and woody material in buildings can cause costly
restoration procedures. Here, we focus on Serpula lacrymans (commonly known as dry-rot) …

Traditionally, fungal taxonomy was based on observable phenotypic characters. Recent
advances have driven taxonomic conclusions towards DNA-based approaches and these …

Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil bacteria colonizing the rhizosphere
and the rhizoplane which have an effect on plant growth through multiple chemical …

Morels (Morchella spp.) are iconic edible mushrooms with a long history of human
consumption. Some microbial taxa are hypothesized to be important in triggering the …

Although heeding and leading in the application perspective, we are lagging to address the
variegated cross-talks involved in plant-endophyte interactions, the basis for the pertinence …

abstract Matsutake, the fruiting body of Tricholoma matsutake, is among the most
economically important edible ectomycorrhizal (EM) mushrooms worldwide. This EM fungus …

Many bacteria form symbiotic associations with plant-associated fungi. The effects of these
symbionts on host fitness usually depend on symbiont or host genotypes and environmental …

Background: The microbial symbionts of macrofungal fruiting body have been shown to play
momentous roles in host growth, development, and secondary metabolism. Nevertheless …

Bacteria play an important role in the life cycle of fungi by influencing positively or negatively
morphological features, mycelial growth and/or fruiting body induction. However, little is …
