Truffles are hypogeous fungi which live in symbiosis with plant host roots in order to
accomplish their life cycle. Some species, such as Tuber magnatum Pico, the 'white truffle' …

Partial sequences of nuLSU rDNA were obtained to investigate the phylogenetic
relationships of Pyronemataceae, the largest and least studied family of Pezizales. The …

Thousands of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species exist, but estimates of global species
richness of ECM fungi differ widely. Many genera have been proposed as being ECM, but in …

Alanphillipsia aloeicola from Aloe sp., Arxiella dolichandrae from Dolichandra unguiscati …

A growing body of molecular research is discovering a high diversity of pezizalean
ectomycorrhiza (EcM), yet most remain unidentified at the genus or species level. This study …

Tuberaceae is one of the most diverse lineages of symbiotic truffle-forming fungi. To
understand the molecular underpinning of the ectomycorrhizal truffle lifestyle, we compared …

“Sanghuang” is a popular fungus used as a Chinese traditional medicine. In fact, it
