Short-read, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) methods have yielded numerous important
insights into microbial ecology and function. Yet, in many instances short-read HTS …

Therapeutic use of psilocybin has become a focus of recent international research, with
preliminary data showing promise to address a range of treatment-resistant mental health …

Species delimitation is one of the most fundamental processes in biology. Biodiversity
undertakings, for instance, require explicit species concepts and criteria for species …

In the hyperdiverse fungi, the process of speciation is virtually unknown, including for the>
20 000 species of ectomycorrhizal mutualists. To understand this process, we investigated …

Psychoactive mushrooms in the genus Psilocybe have immense cultural value and have
been used for centuries in Mesoamerica. Despite the recent surge of interest in these …

Madagascar is known for its high diversity and endemism of fauna and flora. Fungi,
however, have been largely overlooked in diversity and evolution studies on the island, and …

Multi‐locus sequence data are widely used in fungal systematic and taxonomic studies to
delimit species and infer evolutionary relationships. We developed and assessed the …

Abstract Armillaria ostoyae (Romagn.) Herink is a highly pathogenic fungus that uses
exploratory, cordlike structures called rhizomorphs to seek out new sources of nutrition …

Species of Russula are ubiquitous members of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in
tropical ecosystems. However, an important part of the total tropical diversity of this genus …

Species in Diaporthe are largely reported as important plant pathogens. Identification of
species in this genus has been complemented by morphological and molecular features …
