Lentinula is a broadly distributed group of fungi that contains the cultivated shiitake mushroom, L. edodes . We sequenced 24 genomes representing eight described species and several unnamed lineages from 15 countries on four continents. comprises major clades arose in Oligocene, three Americas one Asia–Australasia. To expand sampling mushrooms, we assembled 60 China were previously published as raw Illumina reads added them to our dataset. sensu lato (s. lat.) may warrant recognition...

A luminescent fungus growing on decaying leaves and sticks was collected in terra-firme forest at the upper Cuieiras river, Amazonas, Brazil. Morphological study phylogenetic analysis (based ITS+LSU data) confirmed it as a new species of Mycena. Mycena lamprocephala sp. nov. is characterized macroscopically by small, thin, basidiomata with an olivaceous brown pileus glutinous stipe, microscopically diverticulate pleurocystidia, ramose cheilocystidia, branching pileipellis hyphae. The...

Rhizomorphs are hair- or wire-like melanized structures with structural differentiation analogous to plant roots that help fungi spread over an area and find food resources. Some species of multiple groups the Ascomycota Basidiomycota produce different types rhizomorphs. In Agaricales, largely found in Marasmiineae, particularly Omphalotaceae, Marasmiaceae , Physalacriaceae . Many rhizomorph-forming forest floor (ground level), while others form aerial litter-trapping rhizomorph systems hang...

Specialized parasites can modify host behavior to benefit transmission and reproduction. Such is considered an extended phenotype of the parasite. The interactions between certain ant species fungi genus Ophiocordyceps form evident example. Once infected by camponoti-atricipis, Camponotus atriceps ants die, biting at specific sites where abiotic conditions are optimal for fungal development. For many free-living fungi, light needed induce growth reproductive stage. However, role in...

Abstract Many species of mushroom-forming fungi have been harvested in the wild and used for food medicine thousands years. In Brazil, knowledge diversity edible mushrooms remains scattered poorly studied. Based on new samples, bibliographic records revision, searches through GenBank, we recorded 409 which 350 can be safely consumed 59 are but with conditions. Additionally, other 150 represent taxa unclear evidence consumption or unconfirmed edibility status. A total 86 represents consistent...

A new luminescent lignicolous fungal species, Mycena cristinae sp. nov., is proposed from the Central Amazon forest. This unique and supported by morphological evaluation along with LSU- ITS-based phylogenetic analyses. The basidiomata have mostly fuscous olivaceous brown pileus, adnate to subdecurrent distant lamellae, stipe slightly bulbous base (basal mycelium absent). It also has inamyloid and/or weakly amyloid basidiospores, ramose cheilocystidia a pileipellis composed of an aerated...

Species of the genus Tulostoma are easily recognizable by presence a spore sac, with mouth from which spores released, attached to stipe. is species-diverse worldwide distribution, and some attempts were made delimitate species evaluate reliable taxonomic-informative characteristics for identification. However, there notable information gap regarding Neotropical species, especially geographic distribution DNA data, hampers further understanding infrageneric diversity, evolution, ecology this...

Arthropods could be directly affect mycelial growth and basidiome, being the mushroom cultivation, an impaired activity, resulting in damage reflected loss of production fungus quality. Of there importance knowledge arthropods associated to wild edible mushrooms help establishment prevention system that allow control manage possible potential pest species future. Thus, this study aimed determine with six which are natural occurrence Manaus-Amazonas-Brazil. Samples belong basidiome Lentinula...

ABSTRACT The high diversity of the genus Geastrum and difficulty obtaining mycelial cultures impairs study ecophysiology exploration biotechnological potential taxon. In this study, different culture media were tested to obtain for G. lloydianum subiculosum collected in Brazilian Amazon. Data on spore germination, isolation monokaryotic vitro sexual reproduction are presented, as well a brief morphological description obtained. For both species, Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) was most promising...

In the search for new strains of edible mushrooms in Brazilian Amazon Forest, we found Lentinula specimens different from raphanica. These were described morphologically and evaluated phylogenetically within clade. The mating system was determined, interbreeding compatibility with L. raphanica verified. basidiomata have a cinnamon or deep orange to fulvous brown, moist dry pileus, occasionally whitish scales; crowded cream lamellae; an eccentric lateral stipe. typical, predominant...
