Influences of environmental factors on fruiting body induction, development and maturation in mushroom-forming fungi

Y Sakamoto - Fungal Biology Reviews, 2018 - Elsevier
Mushroom-forming fungi (restricted to basidiomycetous fungi in this review) differentiate by
sensing several environmental factors for fruiting body formation. For fruiting body induction …
