Fungi are an understudied, biotechnologically valuable group of organisms. Due to the immense range habitats that fungi inhabit, and consequent need compete against a diverse array other fungi, bacteria, animals, have developed numerous survival mechanisms. The unique attributes thus herald great promise for their application in biotechnology industry. Moreover, can be grown with relative ease, making production at scale viable. search fungal biodiversity, construction living collection,...
Many fungi are pathogenic on plants and cause significant damage in agriculture forestry. They also part of the natural ecosystem may play a role regulating plant numbers/density. Morphological identification analysis fungi, while important, is often hampered by scarcity discriminatory taxonomic characters endophytic or inconspicuous nature these fungi. Molecular (DNA sequence) data for have emerged as key information diagnostic classification studies, although non-standard laboratory...
Abstract Fungal diversity notes is one of the important journal series fungal taxonomy that provide detailed descriptions and illustrations new taxa, as well providing information taxa worldwide. This article 11th contribution to series, in which 126 distributed two phyla, six classes, 24 orders 55 families are described illustrated. Taxa this study were mainly collected from Italy by Erio Camporesi also China, India Thailand, some other European, North American South countries. present...
Abstract Wild mushrooms are a vital source of income and nutrition for many poor communities value to recreational foragers. Literature relating the edibility mushroom species continues expand, driven by an increasing demand wild mushrooms, wider interest in foraging, study traditional foods. Although numerous case reports have been published on edible doubt confusion persist regarding which safe suitable consume. Case often differ, evidence supporting stated properties can be incomplete or...
The production of sufficient food for an increasing global population while conserving natural capital is a major challenge to humanity. Tree-mediated ecosystem services are recognized as key features more sustainable agroecosystems but the strategic management tree attributes service provision poorly understood. Six agroforestry and cover transition studies, spanning tropical/subtropical forest zones in three continents, were synthesized assess contribution conservation biodiversity...
Abstract Fungi provide ecological and environmental services to humans, as well health nutritional benefits, are vital numerous industries. Fermented food beverage products from fungi circulating in the market, generating billions of USD. However, highest potential monetary value is their role blue carbon trading because ability sequester large amounts soil. There no conclusive estimates available on global fungi, primarily there limited data for extrapolation. This study outlines...
Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. Here, we examined endemicity patterns, global change vulnerability priority areas for functional groups soil based on six surveys using a high-resolution, long-read metabarcoding approach. We found that all most peaks in tropical habitats, including Amazonia, Yucatan, West-Central...
Abstract The field of mycology has grown from an underappreciated subset botany, to a valuable, modern scientific discipline. As this study grown, there have been significant contributions science, technology, and industry, highlighting the value fungi in era. This paper looks at current research, along with existing limitations, suggests future areas where scientists can focus their efforts, mycology. We show how become important emerging diseases medical discuss trends potential drug novel...
Abstract Nitrogen is fundamental to all life forms and also one of the most limiting nutrients for plant growth. Several clades angiosperms have developed symbiotic relationships with actinorhizal bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen increase access this nutrient. However, evolutionary patterns nitrogen-fixing symbioses remain unclear date. Furthermore underlying environmental pressures led gain fixation never been investigated. Here, we present comprehensive genus-level phylogenetic...
Phosphate-solubilizing fungi (PSF) play an important role in increasing the bioavailability of phosphorus soils for plants. Thirteen fungal strains, one collected from air and 12 soil, were screened described here detail. These strains tested their ability to solubilize tricalcium phosphate (TCP) on both solid liquid Pikovskaya (PVK) media vitro. The airborne strain KUMCC 18-0196 (Aspergillus hydei sp. nov.) showed most significant solubilizing activity a PVK medium with solubilization index...
Fungal taxonomy research, and specifically the study of macro micro morphological characteristics, requires precise temperature control. This is because variation in can affect macrofungal microstructures. Understanding appropriate range for drying fruitbodies crucial to ensure consistent reports between studies. In this study, three species, viz. Agaricus bisporus, Lentinula edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus, were selected compare basidiospore sizes dried fresh fruitbodies. All dehydrated within...
