Soil microorganisms are clearly a key component of both natural and managed ecosystems.
Despite the challenges of surviving in soil, a gram of soil can contain thousands of individual …

The tropics were long considered to have few ectomycorrhizal fungi, presumably due to a
paucity of ectomycorrhizal host plants relative to higher-latitude ecosystems. However, an …

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 …

Microbial ecology is the study of interactions among microbes in natural environments and
their roles in biogeochemical cycles, food web dynamics, and the evolution of life. Microbes …

Abstract The phlebioid clade (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) accommodates numerous
species of corticioid and polyporoid fungi of the Phanerochaetaceae, Irpicaceae, and …

Basidiomycota is one of the major phyla in the fungal tree of life. The outline of
Basidiomycota provides essential taxonomic information for researchers and workers in …

Fungi are dominant ecological participants in the forest ecosystems, which play a major role
in recycling organic matter and channeling nutrients across trophic levels. Fungal …

There is urgent need for a formal nomenclature of sequence-based, voucherless Fungi,
given that environmental sequencing has accumulated more than one billion fungal ITS …

Trechispora (Hydnodontaceae) is considered as a soil-inhabiting fungus. However, some
species in the genus are frequently forming basidiomes on soil, a typical feature of …

Three new species of Trechispora from Brazil, T. copiosa, T. gelatinosa, and T. termitophila,
are described and illustrated. The new species are microscopically similar to the known …
