Almost all land plants form symbiotic associations with mycorrhizal fungi. These below‐
ground fungi play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems as they regulate nutrient and carbon …

The skin is the human body's largest organ, colonized by a diverse milieu of
microorganisms, most of which are harmless or even beneficial to their host. Colonization is …

Six DNA regions were evaluated as potential DNA barcodes for Fungi, the second largest
kingdom of eukaryotic life, by a multinational, multilaboratory consortium. The region of the …

This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil
fungi. ie dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi …

True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

Fungi are morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and phylogenetically diverse. They
are known to produce numerous bioactive molecules, which makes them very useful for …

Zygomycete fungi were classified as a single phylum, Zygomycota, based on sexual
reproduction by zygospores, frequent asexual reproduction by sporangia, absence of …

All plants in natural ecosystems appear to be symbiotic with fungal endophytes. This highly
diverse group of fungi can have profound impacts on plant communities through increasing …

High-throughput sequencing studies generate vast amounts of taxonomic data. Evolutionary
ecological hypotheses of the recovered taxa and Species Hypotheses are difficult to test due …

A comprehensive phylogenetic classification of the kingdom Fungi is proposed, with
reference to recent molecular phylogenetic analyses, and with input from diverse members …
