Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi are major microbial components of boreal, temperate and
Mediterranean forests, as well as some tropical forest ecosystems. Nearly two decades of …

The first genomic sequence for a representative of symbiotic fungi, the ectomycorrhizal
basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor, has been published. The unravelling of this genome …

Morchella crassipes (Vent.) Pers., a typical yellow morel species with high economic value,
is mainly distributed in the low altitude plains of Eurasia. However, rare research has been …

In forest soils, ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic Agaricales differ in their strategies for
carbon acquisition, but share common gene families encoding multi‐copper oxidases …

Marasmius oreades is a basidiomycete fungus that grows in so called “fairy rings,” which are
circular, underground mycelia common in lawns across temperate areas of the world. Fairy …

Biogeographical patterns and large‐scale genetic structure have been little studied in
ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi, despite the ecological and economic importance of EM …

Russula griseocarnosa is a species of edible ectomycorrhizal fungi with medicinal
properties that grows in southern China. Total DNA was isolated from a fresh fruiting body of …

A genetic linkage map for the edible basidiomycete Agaricus bisporus was constructed from
118 haploid homokaryons derived from an intervarietal A. bisporus var. bisporus× A …

It is becoming clear that simple sequence repeats (SSRs) play a significant role in fungal
genome organization, and they are a large source of genetic markers for population …

Many forest tree species are dependent on their symbiotic interaction with ectomycorrhizal
(ECM) fungi for phosphorus (P) uptake from forest soils where P availability is often limited …
