The ectomycorrhizal fungus Thelephora ganbajun is an endemic gourmet mushroom in Yunnan province, south-western China. However, despite its widespread consumer appeal, nutritional value and potential ecological role in natural forests, very little is known about its genetics, diversity and ecology. In this study, we investigated DNA sequence variation at the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions among 156 specimens collected from 23 sites of nine regions in Yunnan Province. Our analysis…

Genetic Diversity of Dahongjun, the Commercially Important “Big Red Mushroom” from Southern China

The results indicate mature Dahongjun mushrooms with abundant basidiospores are important for the reproduction of this mushroom in nature and that individual populations of this species should be managed separately.

Evidence for Inbreeding and Genetic Differentiation among Geographic Populations of the Saprophytic Mushroom Trogia venenata from Southwestern China

Frequent inbreeding, geographic structuring, and limited gene flow among geographic populations of T. venenata from southwestern China are suggested, consistent with prevalent inbreeding within local populations.

Structure, Gene Flow, and Recombination among Geographic Populations of a Russula virescens Ally from Southwestern China

The authors' multilocus population genetic analyses suggested frequent gene flow among geographic populations of the R. virescens ally in Yunnan, and Interestingly, the nuclear and mitochondrial genes exhibited different levels of gene flow and recombination.

STUDIES OF MORPHOLOGICAL AND GENETIC VARIABILITY OF HERICIUM ERINACEUS FROM THE NORTHWEST AREA OF THE SIERRA MADRE OCCIDENTAL, DURANGO, MEXICO

Abstract Hericium erinaceus, known as lion's mane, is one of the most important cultivated mushrooms worldwide. It grows wild through European and North American countries; meanwhile, in Asia it is…

Taxonomy and Phylogeny Reveal Two New Potential Edible Ectomycorrhizal Mushrooms of Thelephora from East Asia

The ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes genus Thelephora has been understudied in subtropical ecosystems. Many species of Thelephora are important edible and medicinal fungi, with substantial economic…

Divergence and dispersal of the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora from China.

DNA sequence variation among strains of the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora from China revealed that the Chinese A. oligospora is a species complex with at least three divergent lineages (cryptic species) and there was significant geographic structuring with unambiguous evidence for localized recombination within two of the three lineages in nature.

Thelephora versatilis and Thelephora pseudoversatilis: two new cryptic species with polymorphic basidiomes inhabiting tropical deciduous and sub-perennial forests of the Mexican Pacific coast

Morphological segregation of these species was attained by analyzing spore and hyphae characters using a wide sample, and exemplifies the relevance of integrating both morphological and molecular data, as well of the use of an appropriate sample size in order to discriminate among morphological cryptic species.

DIVERSITY AND POPULATION BIOLOGY OF WILD MUSHROOMS FROM SOUTHWESTERN CHINA

The results indicate extensive diversity and reveal evidence of cryptic speciation, genetic differentiation and geographic structuring in wild edible mushrooms in Southwestern China.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the edible Basidiomycete mushroom Thelephora ganbajun

The complete mitochondrial genome of the edible fungus Thelephora ganbajun was determined using Illumina sequencing andGene prediction showed that the mitogenome codes 28 tRNAs, 2 pseudo-t RNAs, and 21 known and 7 hypothetical proteins.

Molecular identification of Shiitake [Lentinula edodes Berk (Pegler)] and production of secondary metabolites with biotechnological potential

Low genetic diversity in the four shiitake isolates were identified, corresponding to two haplotypes with minimal genetic difference between them, related to the Japanese strain Cr62, indicating that Colombian farmers cultivate almost the same strains of shitake.

Recombination and genetic differentiation among natural populations of the ectomycorrhizal mushroom Tricholoma matsutake from southwestern China

The analyses of gene and genotype frequencies within populations indicated that most loci did not deviate from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in most populations and that alleles among loci were in linkage equilibrium in the majority of the local populations, consistent with the hypothesis that sexual reproduction and recombination play an important role in natural populations of this species.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ectomycorrhizal mushroom Tricholoma matsutake.

The development and analysis of a set of SNP markers for the basidiomycete fungus Tricholoma matsutake revealed three kinds of haplotype relationship, including haplotype sharing both within and between strains.

Mitochondrial DNA variation in natural populations of the mushroom Agaricus bisporus

Two mtDNA haplotypes, mt001 and mt002, predominate among cultivars used throughout the world for at least the last two decades and are more similar to the cosmopolitan groups of mt DNA haplotypes than to the indigeneous clusters of mtDNAhaplotypes from the two Californian regions.

EVIDENCE FOR LIMITED INTERCONTINENTAL GENE FLOW IN THE COSMOPOLITAN MUSHROOM, SCHIZOPHYLLUM COMMUNE

The genetic structure of populations of Schizophyllum commune was inferred from electrophoretic variation among 136 individuals at 11 polymorphic allozyme loci to determine the extent of geographic differentiation in this widespread mushroom species, and it is suggested that populations are large and geographically widespread.

Genetic Structure of Natural Populations of Agaricus bisporus, the Commercial Button Mushroom

The genetic analysis of a collection of 342 isolates of Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach from 12 locations found that the samples of cultivar-like isolates from various locations were genetically more similar among themselves and to the cultivars than to the samples from the same locations, and showed no evidence of genetic differentiation between continents and between regions within a continent.

Russulaceae and Thelephoraceae form ectomycorrhizas with members of the Nyctaginaceae (Caryophyllales) in the tropical mountain rain forest of southern Ecuador.

The distribution and the evolution of ectomycorrhizas in the predominantly neotropic Nyctaginaceae are discussed and structurally typified according to light and transmission electron microscope investigations are discussed.

Long-distance dispersal and recombination in environmental populations of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii from India.

The results are consistent with the hypothesis of long-distance dispersal and recombination in environmental populations of this species in India and identify no evidence for significant differentiation among populations belonging to either different geographical areas or different host tree species.

Delineation of the European Armillaria species based on the sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of ribosomal DNA

The results are consistent with, and discussed in regard to, the relationships estimated previously by pairing tests, morphological and physiological comparisons, as well as by restriction fragment length polymorphism of the rDNA.

Internal transcribed spacer primers and sequences for improved characterization of basidiomycetous orchid mycorrhizas.

Broad-spectrum basidiomycete internal transcribed spacer (ITS) primers that do not exclude most known Tulasnellaceae are presented and detailed phylogenetic analyses reveal some inconsistencies in species concepts in these taxonomically challenging resupinate basidiomers, but also help to place several sequences from environmental samples.
