Abstract:
... Hygrophorus olivaceoalbus has long been known as an ectomycorrhizal fungus, formerly designated with the artificial binomen Piceirhiza gelatinosa. Recently, it has been found to be abundant and very frequent under double ambient ozone free air fumigation of mature Norway spruce trees. As it has already been reported that this fungus can form intercellular hyphae within the root meristem, a more de ...

Abstract:
... Auricularia auricula-judae, also known as black wood ear, is one of the most popular edible mushrooms in China. But the confusion about cultivars has limited the development of A. auricula-judae production. In this article, 17 polymorphic SSR markers were cloned and used to differentiate the cultivars of A. auricula-judae. The polymorphism information content (PIC) of these SSR ranged from 0.10 to ...

Abstract:
... Hawaii is one of the most isolated archipelagos in the world, situated about 4,000 km from the nearest continent, and never connected with continental land masses. Two Hawaiian endemic blueberries, Vaccinium calycinum and V. reticulatum, are infected by Exobasidium species previously recognized as Exobasidium vaccinii. However, because of the high host-specificity of Exobasidium, it seems unlikel ...

Abstract:
... The only two species of Choiromyces collected up to now in Spain, C. venosus and C. magnusii, were studied with both morphological and molecular methods. Phylogenetic inference of nrDNA ITS and LSU sequences showed that they should be considered independent species in the genus Choiromyces. Choiromyces venosus is a hypogeous fungus, infrequent but naturally present in the Iberian Peninsula, that i ...

Abstract:
... Spongipellis litschaueri, described in 1931 from Austria, is often synonymised with S. delectans in current literature. Morphological and molecular approaches were applied to revise the taxonomic position of this species. The basidiospore dimensions and DNA sequences confirmed differences between S. delectans and S. litschaueri, thus the latter should be kept as a distinct species. However, the re ...

Abstract:
... The unique mode of nutrition by carnivorous plants makes the facilitation of nutrient acquisition by mycorrhizal fungi seem unlikely. However, previously we have reported that the carnivorous plant Drosera rotundifolia can host at least eight species of fungal root endophyte. Although the function of these fungi remains unknown, their ubiquitous presence suggests that they may give plants a compet ...

The sequence of the ITS region indicated that the isolate belongs to the genus Mycena. After 4 months of inoculation, the root systems of D. officinale that were inoculated with F-23 fungus were much larger than the control’s root systems. We also observed that th ...

A previous study for the hosts indicated a main east–west subdivision with recurrent gene flow within these regions and demographic expansion of populations. We took these patterns as null hypotheses to test for ...
