Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

The question of how many species of Fungi there are has occasioned much speculation,
with figures mostly posited from around half a million to 10 million, and in one extreme case …

True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

Fungi are morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and phylogenetically diverse. They
are known to produce numerous bioactive molecules, which makes them very useful for …

Mycelium-Based Composites (MBCs) are innovative engineering materials made from
lignocellulosic by-products bonded with fungal mycelium. While some performance …

The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region is the primary choice for
molecular identification of fungi. Its two highly variable spacers (ITS 1 and ITS 2) are usually …

Six DNA regions were evaluated as potential DNA barcodes for Fungi, the second largest
kingdom of eukaryotic life, by a multinational, multilaboratory consortium. The region of the …

The aim of this study was to assess potential candidate gene regions and corresponding
universal primer pairs as secondary DNA barcodes for the fungal kingdom, additional to ITS …

With recent methodological advances, molecular markers are increasingly used for semi-
quantitative analyses of fungal communities. The aim to preserve quantitative relationships …

Rapid development of high-throughput (HTS) molecular identification methods has
revolutionized our knowledge about taxonomic diversity and ecology of fungi. However …
