Abstract Aproximately 5,000–6,000 fungal species form ectomyorrhizae (ECM), the
symbiotic organs with roots of predominantly trees. The contributing fungi are not evenly …

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 …

This new edition of the universally acclaimed and widely-used textbook on fungal biology
has been completely re-written, drawing directly on the authors' research and teaching …

An investigation of mushroom phylogeny using the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II
gene sequences (RPB1) was conducted in comparison with nuclear ribosomal large subunit …

Historical patterns of morphological evolution and ecology in the Boletales are largely
unresolved but appear to involve extensive convergence. We studied phylogenetic …

Corticioid fungi are basidiomycetes with effused basidiomata, a smooth, merulioid or
hydnoid hymenophore, and holobasidia. These fungi used to be classified as a single …

Homobasidiomycetes display a variety of fruit body morphologies. Examples include gilled
mushrooms, coral fungi, polypores and puffballs but also species with simple crust-like …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the phylogeny and evolution of sequestrate
fungi (with gastroid or partially exposed basidiomes) in relation to their gilled relatives from …

We aimed to identify genomic traits of transitions to ectomycorrhizal ecology within the
Boletales by comparing the genomes of 21 symbiotrophic species with their saprotrophic …

This paper presents results of surveys of stipitate-pileate Boletales in Belize and the
Dominican Republic. A key to the Boletales from Belize and the Dominican Republic is …
