Fungi are an understudied, biotechnologically valuable group of organisms. Due to the
immense range of habitats that fungi inhabit, and the consequent need to compete against a …

Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

This article is the 14th in the Fungal Diversity Notes series, wherein we report 98 taxa
distributed in two phyla, seven classes, 26 orders and 50 families which are described and …

Explaining the large-scale diversity of soil organisms that drive biogeochemical processes—
and their responses to environmental change—is critical. However, identifying consistent …

Aboveground–belowground interactions exert critical controls on the composition and
function of terrestrial ecosystems, yet the fundamental relationships between plant diversity …

Fungi are eukaryotes that play essential roles in ecosystems. Among fungi, Basidiomycota is
one of the major phyla with more than 40,000 described species. We review species …

In the fungal kingdom, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis has evolved independently in
multiple groups that are referred to as lineages. A growing number of molecular studies in …

The ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis involves a large number of plant and fungal taxa
worldwide. During studies on EcM diversity, numerous misidentifications, and contradictory …

Soil fungi play a major role in ecological and biogeochemical processes in forests. Little is
known, however, about the structure and richness of different fungal communities and the …

With∼ 36,000 described species, Agaricomycetes are among the most successful groups of
Fungi. Agaricomycetes display great diversity in fruiting body forms and nutritional modes …
