Societal Impact Statement There is increasing awareness that plants and fungi, as natural solutions, can play an important role in tackling ongoing global environmental challenges. We illustrate how understanding current projected threats to fungi necessary manage mitigate risks, while building of gaps bias assessment coverage essential adequately prioritize conservation efforts. highlight the state art science point methods future studies needed species extinction. Summary Plant fungal...
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows:
In terrestrial ecosystems, fungi are the major agents of decomposition processes and nutrient cycling plant uptake. Hence, they have a vital impact on ecosystem carbon cycle. Changes in productivity phenology fungal fruit bodies can give clues to changes activity, but understanding these relation changing climate is pending challenge among ecologists. Here we report phenological fruiting Europe over past four decades. Analyses 746,297 dated geo-referenced mushroom records 486 autumnal...

Thirteen new species are formally described:
Fungal species are not immune to the threats facing animals and plants thus also prone extinction. Yet, until 2015, fungi were nearly absent on IUCN Red List. Recent efforts identify fungal under threat have significantly increased number of published assessments. The 597 in 2022-1 List update (21 July 2022) basis for first global review extinction risk they face. Nearly 50% assessed threatened, with 10% NT 9% DD. For regions a larger assessments (i.e., Europe, North America, South America),...

Abstract Fungi are among the most diverse and ecologically important kingdoms in life. However, distributional ranges of fungi remain largely unknown as do ecological mechanisms that shape their distributions 1,2 . To provide an integrated view spatial seasonal dynamics fungi, we implemented a globally distributed standardized aerial sampling fungal spores 3 The vast majority operational taxonomic units were detected within only one climatic zone, spatiotemporal patterns species richness...
The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability these threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising possibility bulk revision processes "inappropriate" names. It evident such proposals come from very deep feelings, but we show how can irreparably damage foundation biological communication and, turn, sciences depend on it. There are four essential consequences...
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows:
Novel methods for sampling and characterizing biodiversity hold great promise re-evaluating patterns of life across the planet. The airborne spores with a cyclone sampler, sequencing their DNA, have been suggested as an efficient well-calibrated tool surveying fungal diversity various environments. Here we present data originating from Global Spore Sampling Project, comprising 2,768 samples collected during two years at 47 outdoor locations world. Each sample represents DNA extracted 24 m
Abstract Aim Macroecological scales of species compositional trends are well documented for a variety plant and animal groups, but remain sparse fungi, despite their ecological importance in carbon nutrient cycling. It is, thus, essential to understand the composition fungal assemblages across broad geographical underlying drivers. Our overall aim was describe these patterns fungi two nutritional modes (saprotrophic ectomycorrhizal). Furthermore, we aimed elucidate temporal component...
Thermal melanism theory states that dark-colored ectotherm organisms are at an advantage low temperature due to increased warming. This is generally supported for animals, however, the function of colors in fungal kingdom largely unknown. Here, we test whether color lightness mushroom assemblages related climate using a dataset 3.2 million observations 3,054 species across Europe. Consistent with thermal theory, significantly darker areas cold climates. We further show differences phenotype...
Reconciling traditional classifications, morphology, and the phylogenetic relationships of brown-spored agaric mushrooms has proven difficult in many groups, due to extensive convergence morphological features. Here, we address monophyly Bolbitiaceae, a family with over 700 described species examine higher-level within using newly constructed multilocus dataset (ITS, nrLSU rDNA EF1-alpha). We tested whether fast-evolving Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequences can be accurately aligned...
Many plant and animal species are changing their latitudinal and/or altitudinal distributions in response to climate change, but whether fungi show similar changes is largely unknown. Here, we use historical fungal fruit body records from the European Alps assess fruiting between 1960 2010. We observe that many at significantly higher elevations 2010 compared 1960, especially so among soil-dwelling fungi. Wood-decay fungi, being dependent on presence of one or a few host trees, slower...
Hypoxylon, a large, cosmopolitan genus of Ascomycota is in the focus our current poly-thetic taxonomic studies, and served as an excellent source for bioactive secondary metabolites at same time. The present work concerns survey Hypoxylon fuscum species complex based on specimens from Iran Europe by morphological studies high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry diode array detection (HPLC-MS-DAD). Apart known chemotaxonomic markers like binaphthalene tetrol (BNT)...
Here we assess the impact of geographically dependent (latitude, longitude, and altitude) changes in bioclimatic (temperature, precipitation, primary productivity) variability on fungal fruiting phenology across Europe. Two main nutritional guilds fungi, saprotrophic ectomycorrhizal, were further separated into spring autumn fruiters. We used a path analysis to investigate how biogeographic patterns coincided with seasonal climate production. Across central northern Europe, mean varied by...
Fungal diversity (richness) trends at large scales are in urgent need of investigation, especially through novel situations that combine long-term observational with environmental and remotely sensed open-source data.We modeled fungal richness, collections-based records saprotrophic (decaying) ectomycorrhizal (plant mutualistic) fungi, using an array variables across geographical gradients from northern to central Europe. Temporal differences covariables granted insight into the impacts...

With forests covering roughly half of the Austrian land area, forest ecosystems have been monitored and characterized for centuries. While some aspects remain same long-term, we are about to experience rapid changes due climate change loss species. At time, emerging technologies like high throughput sequencing allow us deeper insights into occurrence diversity For hidden subsoil, metabarcoding environmental DNA can uncover invisible soil life. This includes under-explored mycorrhizal fungi,...
