temperate and tropical regions of the world. The causal pathogens are members of the …

The basidiomycete genus Armillaria sl (Armillaria ss and Desarmillaria) has a worldwide
distribution and plays a central role in the dynamics of numerous woody ecosystems …

This is a continuation of a series focused on providing a stable platform for the taxonomy of
phytopathogenic fungi and fungus-like organisms. This paper focuses on one family …

Background Armillaria is a globally distributed mushroom-forming genus composed
primarily of plant pathogens. Species in this genus are prolific producers of rhizomorphs, or …

Abstract Lentinula (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) includes the most widely cultivated

Fungal species of Armillaria, which can act as plant pathogens and/or symbionts of the
Chinese traditional medicinal herb Gastrodia elata (“Tianma”), are ecologically and …

This review considers current knowledge surrounding species boundaries of the Armillaria
root-rot pathogens and their distribution. In addition, a phylogenetic tree using translation …

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) DNA marker is routinely used for fungal identification
but gives a clear result for only three out of four powdery mildew samples. A search for new …

Armillaria root disease, caused by diverse species from the Agaricomycete genus Armillaria
sl (including the closely related genus Desarmillaria), is a primary cause of mortality and …

Studies on the relation of the diversity of wood-decaying fungi to elevation are scarce, and
their results are not consistent. We found that the elevation gradient and structural …
