During the diversification of Fungi and the rise of conifer-dominated and angiosperm-
dominated forests, mutualistic symbioses developed between certain trees and …

Dual‐mycorrhizal plants are capable of associating with fungi that form characteristic
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EM) structures. Here, we address the …

The Basidiomycota constitutes a major phylum of the kingdom Fungi and is second in
species numbers to the Ascomycota. The present work provides an overview of all validly …

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 …

In this paper, we provide a phylogenetic overview of Basidiomycota and related phyla in
relation to ten years of DNA based phylogenetic studies since the AFTOL publications in …

Abstract Agaricomycetes includes ca. 21,000 described species of mushroom-forming fungi
that function as decayers, pathogens, and mutualists in both terrestrial and aquatic habitats …

The fungi kingdom is among the most diverse eukaryotic lineages on Earth with estimates of
several million extant species (O'Brien et al., 2005; Blackwell, 2011; Taylor et al., 2014) …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, symbiotic mutualists of many dominant tree and shrub species,
exhibit a biogeographic pattern counter to the established latitudinal diversity gradient of …

Identification of fungi to the species level has some challenges because of great diversity in
morphology and ecology. Therefore, developing an efficient species recognition system …

The phylogenetic diversity of true morels (Morchella) in China was estimated by initially
analyzing nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences from 361 …
